Mode
AUTO
Usually set to this mode. This mode
automatically detects PAL, NTSC, SECAM
or MESECAM and adjusts to the colour
system being recorded or played back.
When it does not perform properly, set the
colour system manually.
MANUAL
For recording, there is a choice of 4
selectable modes; PAL/MESECAM/NTSC
3.58/NTSC4.43. Select the mode that
matches the colour signal being received.
For playback, there is an additional mode
which allows NTSC tapes to be played
back and viewed on PAL TVs.
NOTES:
In the AUTO mode, NTSC signals will be automatically
recorded as NTSC 3.58.
In the AUTO mode, NTSC tapes will be played back as NTSC
3.58.
SECAM signals will always be recorded as MESECAM. Select
the AUTO or the MESECAM mode when recording SECAM
signals.
When playing back a SECAM tape, select the AUTO,
MESECAM or SECAM mode. The playback picture will always
be monochrome in modes other than the SECAM mode. Be
sure to select the AUTO mode after you finish viewing a
SECAM tape in the SECAM mode.
For SECAM tapes, only SP recordings can be played back on
this recorder.
In the NTSC4.43 mode, with some TVs, on-screen displays
(Program screen etc.) may roll up or down and there may be a
loss of colour. When this happens, select the AUTO mode.
