Different countries use different television colour systems.
Tapes recorded in the PAL or NTSC system can be played
back on this unit. Usually, the picture on the TV screen will
be in black and white when you play back a tape that is
recorded in a different colour system.
Tapes recorded in the NTSC system can be played back on
this unit and a PAL system TV set. This feature is only avail-
able in the SP mode. When playing back such tapes, the pic-
ture may roll up or down, shrink vertically and black bars may
appear both at the top and bottom of the screen. Adjust the
vertical hold control on your TV, if the TV features this control.
