PLAYBACK OF A VIDEO TAPE
PLAYING BACK AN NTSC TAPE
NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) is a different TV standard to PAL and is used
in some Non-European Countries. Your VCR can playback pre-recorded NTSC tapes onto a
PAL system TV, but cannot record an NTSC signal onto a video tape.
Note that..
•
You cannot record NTSC signals or dub NTSC tapes onto other VCR’s from this VCR.
•
You cannot use Slow speed, Still frame, Double Speed, Frame Advance or Tape
Remaining with a pre-recorded NTSC tape.
•
On some televisions, 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 televisions, the picture may shrink vertically causing black bands to appear at
the top and bottom of your screen.
•
On some televisions, the played-back picture may roll vertically, this does not indicate a
fault with your VCR.
SUPER-VHS (S-VHS)
Your VCR is capable of recording and playing back on an S-VHS cassette. This standard of
video cassette will give you increased picture quality. You will only be able to record S-VHS if
S-VHS in the Mode Menu is selected to AUTO.
