Playing NTSC cassettes

With this TV-Video Combi you can playback cassettes that
have been recorded in NTSC standard on other video
recorders (e.g. American cassettes).
D During NTSC playback, 'NTSC' will briefly appear on
the screen.
D Some special functions (e.g.: still picture) are not
possible during NTSC playback.

Tape position indication

By pressing you can show the present tape position on
OK
the TV screen. You can read the elapsed playing time in hours
and minutes.
D The length of the inserted cassette is automatically
detected. When you put in a new cassette the video
recorder must first calculate the playing time.
Therefore, '-:--' appears first and only after the tape
has been running for a few seconds the playing time
will be shown.
D During NTSC playback, the cassette length cannot
be detected automatically. Therefore, only the
playing time since the insertion of the cassette is
displayed.

*If there is an empty space on the tape, the counter

* If you rewind an NTSC cassette starting at the
'0:00:00' position, the counter will show:
'-0:01:20'. (rewound 1 minute 20 seconds from
the '0:00:00' position).
