Your video recorder comes with an automatic colour standard detection system (PAL / SECAM - PAL
/MESECAM) that works in both play and record mode.
• When playing a tape causes problems (scrambled pictures or black and white), you’ll have to force
the play mode by selecting one of the available options (PAL, SECAM, MESECAM).
• If you wish to record a tape in a particular colour standard, choose one of the options displayed
(PAL, SECAM, MESECAM).
Example: If you want to exchange tapes with people living in the Middle East, you must record and
play in MESECAM.
