About NTSC Playback
●
Some TVs shrink the picture vertically and
place black bars at the top and bottom of the
screen, or cut off the top and bottom portions
of superimposed displays. This is not a
malfunction.
●
The picture may roll up and down. This can
be corrected if your TV has the V-HOLD
control function.
●
The counter and tape remaining time readings
will be incorrect.
●
During search, still, or frame-by-frame
playback, the picture will be distorted, and
there may be a loss of colour.
