Playing Back an S-VHS Cassette
S-VHS (super -VHS) pre-recorded cassettes give you a better quality playback picture with increased detail
and depth.
Your Unit will automatically recognise which type of cassette is being used, VHS or S-VHS and playback the
appropriate standard accordingly.
• All of the VCR’s playback functions can be used during S-VHS playback, SLOW, PLAY/X2, VISUAL SEARCH, etc.
• Your Unit is S-VHS playback only, it will not record S-VHS.
• Some picture noise may be observed on the screen in trick playback (Slow Motion, Frame Advance playback).
Playing Back an NTSC Cassette
NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) is a different TV standard to PAL and is used in some Non-
European Countries. Your Unit can playback pre-recorded NTSC cassette onto a PAL system TV, but cannot
record an NTSC signal onto a video cassette.
• You cannot record NTSC signals or dub NTSC cassettes onto other VCR’s from this Unit.
• You cannot use Slow speed, Still frame, Double Speed, Frame Advance or Tape Remaining with a pre-recorded NTSC
cassette.
• Some picture noise may be observed on the screen in Long Play (LP) mode trick playback (Slow Motion, Frame
Advance playback).
• On some TVs, the picture may appear in black and white or there may be no picture. This does not indicate a fault
with your VCR.
• On some TVs, the picture may shrink vertically causing black bands to appear at the top and bottom of your screen.
• On some TVs, the played-back picture may roll vertically. This does not indicate a fault with your VCR.
