To record NTSC colour system programmes
NTSC colour signals can be recorded on this VCR.
For tape speed, select SP or EP in step 4.
EP provides recording time three times as long as SP, however, SP produces
better picture quality.
When playing back, the VCR automatically detects the tape speed.

remote commander. For two-digit numbers, press the -/-- (ten's digit) button
followed by the number buttons.

SELECT.
To cut out an unwanted scene while recording, press P PAUSE and turn the DUAL
MODE SHUTTLE ring on the VCR to rewind the tape to the beginning of the
unwanted scene, then press P PAUSE to resume recording.
