To set the colour system
If the playback picture has no colour, or streaks appear during palyback, set the “Syst.
Couleur” option in the “REGLAGES UTILISATEUR” menu to conform to the
system that the tape was recorded in (see page 110) (Normally set the option to
“Auto”).
To use the time counter
Press CLEAR at the point on the tape that you want to find later. The counter in the
display window resets to “0:00:00”.
To display the counter on the TV screen, press DISPLAY during normal playback.
Tip
