To set the colour system
If the playback picture has no colour or streaks appear during playback, set the
COLOUR SYSTEM option in the VIDEO OPTIONS menu to conform to the system
that the tape was recorded (see page 71).(Normally set the option to AUTO).
To play an NTSC-recorded tape
Set NTSC PB at the rear of the VCR according to the colour system of your TV.
