About the input line system
This recorder is compatible with PAL,
SECAM, 3.58 NTSC and PAL-60 TV systems.
The Input Line System and Input Colour
System settings determine how the recorder
treats incoming video signals from an
external input or the built-in TV tuner.
Please note the following points when
changing the input line system:
• If, when the Input Line System setting is
changed, the screen goes blank (due to
incompatibility with your TV), you can
switch back by pressing and holding the
front panel  (Stop) button then
pressing INPUT SELECT (also front
panel) while the recorder is stopped.
• When you switch the Input Line System
setting the Copy List is erased. If you
switch the setting using the  (Stop)
button and INPUT SELECT buttons as
described above, there is no
confirmation, so please use with care.
• You can't mix recordings of different TV
line systems on the same disc.
• When you change this setting, the Input
Colour System setting also changes
(page 119).
