Notes
¥ When you play back a tape recorded in the PAL or MESECAM colour system,
streaks may appear even if the colour system setting is set to AUTO. If so, set
COLOUR SYSTEM to PAL or MESECAM in the USER SET menu (see
page 58).
¥ The counter resets to 0:00:00 whenever a tape is reinserted.
¥ The counter stops counting when it comes to a portion with no recording.
¥ If a tape has portions recorded in both PAL and NTSC systems, the time counter
reading will not be correct. This discrepancy is due to the difference between the
counting cycles of the two colour systems.
¥ Depending on your TV, the following may occur while playing an NTSC-recorded
tape:
— The picture becomes black and white.
— The picture shakes.
— No picture appears on the TV screen.
— Black streaks appear horizontally on the TV screen.
— The colour density increases or decreases.
¥ Tapes recorded in the LP mode of other NTSC system VCRs can be played back
on this VCR, but the picture quality cannot be guaranteed.
¥ While setting the menu on the TV screen, buttons for playback on the remote
commander do not function.
