This video recorder comes with an automatic colour standard detection system that works in both
play and record mode.

play mode by selecting one of the available options (PAL, SECAM, MESECAM depending on the
model).
• If you wish to record a tape in a particular colour standard, choose one of the displayed options.
Example: If you want to exchange tapes with people living in the Middle East, you must record and
play in MESECAM.
