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 unit. 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 unit and a PAL system TV set. This feature is only avail-
able 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.
