To save a recording
To prevent accidental erasure, break off the safety tab as illustrated. To
record on the tape again, cover the tab hole with adhesive tape.
To record NTSC colour system programmes
NTSC colour signals input through the LINE-1 IN jacks can be recorded on
this player.
For tape speed, select SP or EP in step 4.
EP provides recording time three times as long as SP; however, SP produces
better picture quality.
When playing back, the player automatically detects the tape speed.
Tips
• You can select a video source from the LINE-1 IN jacks using VHS INPUT SELECT.
• The display appears on the TV screen indicating information about the tape, but the
information won’t be recorded on the tape.
Notes

recorded tape.
