Playback and Recording

OUTPUT connectors are muted.
• When the unit plays a tape recorded in the other color system, the image,
sound and time code may be distorted for a while at the beginning of
playback.
• The TC OUT connector outputs incorrect time code. Do not use this time
code.
• The unit cannot play back synchronized with the external sync signal.
• Noise reduction results for the luminance and chrominance signals may
differ between PAL formatted tape and NTSC formatted tapes.
Limitations regarding the differences in color systems
Except for the simple playback function for a tape recorded in the other
color system, this unit is not compatible with any other color systems.
• This unit cannot record video signals of the other format.
• Inputting the other format video signals does not output the EE pictures
correctly. The video output may be muted and any signal may not be
displayed.
• You may not be able to dub sound correctly from a tape recorded in the
other color system in this unit.
• If a tape has both NTSC and PAL formatted video signals, the following
limitations exist when you play the tape with this unit:
– The image may be distorted and noise may occur at the point that the
recording format changes in the tape.
– The tape transport control buttons may be disabled until the tape speed
is stabilized.
