Before Using This Product
Video Cassette Tape
This unit will operate with any cassette that bears the VHS
mark. For best results, we recommend the use of high-quality
tapes. Do not use poor quality or damaged tapes.
You can prevent accidental erasing of a recording by breaking
off the erase-prevention tab on the back edge of the cassette. If
you decide to record on the tape again, cover the hole with
plastic tape.
Two Different Tape Speeds
Before recording, select the tape speed : SP mode (Standard
Play) or LP mode (Long Play). The table below shows the
maximum recording/playback time using E-60, E-120, E-180
or E-240 tapes in each mode.
TV Colour System
Different countries use different television colour systems.
Tapes recorded in the PAL 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. This feature is only available in the SP and SLP
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. If this occurs, you can adjust
the tracking control manually by pressing
PROG +/-
until the
streaks disappear.
