Safety tab
Tips (continued)
Information about the tape
appears on the TV screen,
but the information won’t
be recorded on the tape.
If you don’t want to watch
TV while recording, you can
turn off the TV.
You can enjoy watching or
listening to another input
source even while
recording.
Notes
The display does not appear
during still (pause) mode or
slow-motion playback.
The display will not appear
while playing an NTSC-
recorded tape.
If a tape has portions
recorded in both PAL and
NTSC systems, the time
counter reading will not be
correct. This discrepancy is
due to the difference
between the counting cycles
of the two video systems.
