NTSC video cassette playback
When using a pre-recorded NTSC video cassette tape, the connected
TV set must be compatible with a 60Hz vertical frequency (sometimes
known as a PAL 60Hz feature). Otherwise the on screen picture will be
affected by vertical rolling. Even if your VCR set is capable of processing
NTSC video signals, the picture may be shortened vertically (appear-
ance of black bars at the top and at the bottom of the TV screen). The
dubbing of a NTSC video cassette tape to a standard PAL VCR is not
possible.
