* SECAM signals will be recorded as MESECAM on this recorder;

NOTES:

About NTSC Playback

Some TVs shrink the picture vertically and place black bars at 
the top and bottom of the screen, or cut off the top and bottom 
portions of superimposed displays. This is not a malfunction.

The picture may roll up and down. This can be corrected if your 
TV has the V-HOLD control function.

The counter and tape remaining time readings will be incorrect.

During search, still, or frame-by-frame playback, the picture will 
be distorted, and there may be a loss of colour.
