NTSC Tape Play Back on PAL TV
When you play back an NTSC tape on your VCR, it is possible to use a PAL or
multi-system compatible TV. However, please note the following:
@The picture will shrink vertically to some degree, as shown in the diagram, but
this does not indicate a malfunction in your TV or VCR.
@If your TV does not have a V-HOLD control, the picture .may roll and be
unwatchable. However, if you use a TV with a V-HOLD control, you can stop the
rolling by adjusting the V-HOLD control and watch the picture.
@Horizontal noise bars may appear on the screen during special effect playback
(video search, still,
slow, frame advance, and double speed playback), possibly accompanred by dscolouring.
@Although NTSC tapes can be played back onto a PAL TV, those tapes cannot be dubbed by a PAL
system VCR connected to the AUDIO OUT and VIDEO OUT terminals of this product. Tapes recorded
in this way cannot be played back on PAL system VCRs.
@Set the COLOUR mode to AUTO. If the COLOUR mode is set to PAL, you cannot play back the tape.
