Video Casette Tape
The VCR/DVD will operate with any casette
that bears the VHS mark. For best results, we
recommend the use of high-quality tapes. Do
not use poor quality or damaged tapes.
• You can prevent accidental erasing of a
recording by breaking off the erase-protection tab on the back edge
of the casette.
• If you decide to record on the tape again, cover the hole with plastic
tape.
TV Colour System
Different countries use different television colour systems. Tapes
recorded in the PAL, MESECAM or NTSC system can be played back
on this VCR/DVD. Usually, the picture on the TV screen will be in black
and white when you play back a tape that is recorded in a different
colour system.
Tapes recorded in the NTSC system can be played back on this
VCR/DVD and a PAL system TV set. This feature is only available in the
SP mode. When playing back such tapes, the picture may roll up or
down, shrink vertically and black bars may appear both at the top and
bottom of the screen. Adjust the vertical hold control on your TV, if
the TV features this control.
Hint
• When playing an NTSC tape playback picture may become
blurred or picture noise may appear during speed search, slow
motion or still mode. This is not a malfunction.
Automatic Operation
Automatic Rewind, Eject, Off
When the end of a tape is reached during recording, playback or fast
forward, the tape will automatically rewind to the beginning. After
that, the VCR/DVD will eject the tape.
• The tape will not auto-rewind during Timer Recording or One Touch
Recording.
Tape Eject
A tape can be ejected with the VCR/DVD power on or off (but the
VCR/DVD must be plugged in).
• If a Timer Recording is set, press STOP C/EJECT A twice to eject a
tape.
Real Time Tape Counter
• This shows the elapsed recording or playback time in hours, minutes
and seconds on screen.
(Nothing is shown in the case of blank portion.)
• The “ – ” indication will appear when the tape is rewound further
than the tape counter position “0:00:00”.
• To reset tape counter, press CLEAR/C-RESET.
