NTSC Tape Play Back on PAL TV
When you play back an NTSC tape on your VCR, it is possible to use a PAL or
/
'c
multi-system compatible TV. However, please note the following:
*The picture will shrink vertically to some degree, as shown in the diagram, but
*
this does not indicate a malfunction in your TV or VCR.
*If your TV does not have a V-WOLD control, the picture may
roll
and be
unwatchable. However, if you use a TV with a V-HOLD control, you can stop the L
yr@,
'+
fi
rolling by adjusting the V-'HOLD control and watch the picture.
*Horizontal noise bars may appear on the screen during special effect playback
(video search, still,
slow, frame advance, and double
speed playback), possibly accompanied by discolouring.
@Although NTSC tapes can be played back onto a PAL TV, those tapes cannot be dubbed by a PAL
system VCR connected to the AUDIO
OUT and WE0 OUT
terminals of this product. Tapes recorded
in this way cannot be played back on PAL system VCRs.
