NTSC Playback
Tapes recorded in the NTSC system can be played back with
this VCR via a PAL system TV.
– Select [NTSC PB SELECT] from the On Screen Display
according to the colour TV system of the TV.
(See page 12.)
– NTSC 3.58 recording requires [NTSC INPUT SELECT] to
be in the AUTO or 3.58 position (see page 12), however if
[NTSC INPUT SELECT] is in this position when recording a
NTSC 3.58 signal, no colour is available for the PAL TV.
Once the recording is completed, you then need to select
[on PAL TV] to view the recording in colour on PAL TV.
– On some TVs, the playback picture may roll up or down; if
your TV has V-HOLD control or equivalent adjustment
function, use it to adjust the picture.
Note for only NTSC Playback on PAL system TV
This function is designed to allow only the playback of tapes
recorded by NTSC signals on a PAL system TV. The NTSC
signal is not completely converted to a PAL signal. For this
reason, images played back by this function cannot be
recorded correctly on other VCRs.
