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
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 117).
