Dangerous voltage inside. Refer internal servicing to qualified

ATTENTION

1. This recorder can also receive SECAM colour television 

signals for recording and playback.

2. Recordings made of SECAM television signals produce 

monochrome pictures if played back on another video 
recorder of SECAM standard, or do not produce normal 
colour pictures if played back on another video recorder of 
PAL standard.

3. SECAM prerecorded cassettes or recordings made with a 

SECAM video recorder produce monochrome pictures when 
played back with this recorder.

IMPORTANT

Please read the various precautions on this page before 
installing or operating the recorder.

It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-
recorded tapes, records, or discs without the consent of the 
owner of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast 
or cable programme and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or 
artistic work embodied therein.
