mark. For best results, we recommend the use of high-quali-
ty tapes. Do not use poor quality or damaged tapes.

of a recording by breaking off the

again, cover the hole with plastic
tape.
Tab
Different countries use different television colour systems.
Tapes recorded in the PAL, MESECAM or NTSC system
can be played back on this unit. Usually, the picture on the
TV screen will be in black and white when you play back a
tape that is recorded in a different colour system.
• Tapes recorded in the NTSC system can be played back
on this unit and a PAL system TV set. This feature is only
available in the SP mode. When playing back such tapes,
the picture may roll up or down, shrink vertically and black
bars may appear both at the top and bottom of the screen.
Adjust the vertical hold control on your TV, if the TV fea-
tures this control.

Before recording, select the tape speed : SP mode
(Standard Play) or LP mode (Long Play).
