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.
Please note the following points when changing the
input line system:
• When the current input is a built-in tuner channel
preset, changing the input line system will usually
also affect the input line system of the
AV2 (INPUT 1/DECODER) input. However if the
AV2/L1 In setting is set to Decoder, then the L2
input is affected instead.
• 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
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 (see below).
