This feature allows the PLAYBACK and RECORDING of wide screen format signals (16.9) which 

should automatically change the picture size setting on a wide screen TV. To allow the 

operation of this feature, ensure 16:9 mode is set to AUTO in the MODE menu.

A scart connection must be used between the VCR (SOCKET L1) and the TV.

During PLAYBACK of a 16:9 encoded tape the TV should switch to (Widescreen) 16:9 mode.

 This feature allows the VCR power consumption to be 

≤1.5 Watt in 

POWERSAVE mode. Auto POWERSAVE mode will engage if the VCR is not operated for 3 

hours.

 Selecting Auto will enable your VCR to 

record in Super-VHS format provided an S-VHS 

cassette is being used, or in the S-VHS ET 

(Expansion Technology) format when using a 

VHS cassette and the S-VHS ET button on the VCR 

front panel is pressed (S-VHS ET will only work in SP 

mode).

 You can select the output of L1 to be either a composite signal where one path is 

used for the video information or a Y/C signal, where the luminance (Y) and the colour (C) 

information are separated and two paths are used for the video information. This will enhance 

picture quality.

 The input of L2 can be changed between composite input or Y/C input. Y/C input will 

enhance the picture quality.

• Not all pre recorded tapes are compatible with 16:9 playback.

• This feature must be supported by TV’s equipped with 16:9 switching.

• 16:9 format recording can only be made from L2 scart input.
