To record NTSC colour system programmes

NTSC colour signals can be recorded on this VCR from the LINE IN 1 and LINE-2 IN* jacks.

To select the line input, press INPUT SELECT to display the connected line in the display window.

For tape speed, select SP or EP in step 4.

EP (Extended Play) provides recording time three times as long as SP. However, SP produces better picture and sound quality.

When playing a tape, the VCR automatically detects the tape speed.
