To Play back S-VHS Cassette Tape
(SQPB=S-VHS Quasi Playback)
It is also possible to play back tapes recorded in the S-VHS
system.
• Some picture noise may occur depending on the type of
tape used.
• It is not possible to fully obtain the high resolution that S-
VHS is capable of.
• It is not possible to record in the S-VHS system with this
VCR.
To Play Back a Recorded Part Repeatedly
Press [REPEAT] (30). The [R] indication
appears on the VCR display.
• A recorded part on the tape must be at
least 15 minutes long.
• When recording over the same location on
a tape, it may not function correctly.
To Cancel the Repeat Playback Mode:
Press [STOP] (12).
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 8.)
• NTSC 3.58 recording requires [NTSC INPUT SELECT] to be
in the AUTO or 3.58 position (see page 8), 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 play back by this function cannot be recorded
correctly on other VCRs.
