≥Select "on PAL TV" in "NTSC PB SELECT" to view the NTSC recording in colour (OPTION lpage 24).

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
