Recording TV programmes (continued)

To record NTSC colour system programmes

NTSC colour signals can be recorded on this VCR from the LINE-1 IN and LINE-2 IN (SLV-ED915PS/TH, ED818ME/SG, ED616ME/MJ/SG and ED515PS only) jacks only.

To select the line input, press INPUT SELECT or PROG +/– so that “L1” or “L2” (SLV-ED915PS/TH, ED818ME/SG, ED616ME/MJ/SG and ED515PS only) appears 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.

Tips

•To select a programme position, you can use the programme number buttons on the remote commander. For two-digit numbers, press the ? (ten’s digit) button followed by the programme number buttons.
