Examples of TV screen display of each video format

When your TV is switchable between PAL/
SECAM/NTSC

Try play a disc. If the picture is black and white or as shown on the right,
stop playback and switch the screen display formats of this unit and the
TV to another format. This will improve the played picture quality.

When your TV is compatible only with the
PAL or SECAM format

With certain discs, the playback pic­ture may have black spaces above
and below it (as shown on the right).
This is because the disc has been
recorded in the NTSC format. The
screen may be somewhat hard to
see but this is not malfunction.

When your TV is compatible only with the
NTSC format

With certain discs, the playback pic­ture may be cut above and below it
(as shown on the right). This is be­cause the disc has been recorded in
the PAL or SECAM format. The screen
may be somewhat hard to see but
this is not malfunction.

Video formats

The video signals used to display TV pictures and video
disc pictures are mainly based on two types of signal
formats (PAL, SECAM and NTSC), which are assigned
to each country or area as shown on the right. As a
result, it is required to select discs according to the
video format used with your TV monitor (in your
country or area).

Notes

1. Longer tape than 110 minutes cassette tape

Since longer tape than 110 minutes cassette tape is very
thin, the tape could adhere to the pinch roller or be easily cut.
It is recommended that these tapes not be used with this
unit to prevent possible damage.

Apply tape only to the position where
the tab has been removed.

To store cassette tapes

Do not store the tapes in a place which is subject to direct sunlight, or
near equipment that generates heat. Keep the cassette tapes away
from any magnetic field.

N

S

When there is slack in the tape

In such a case, insert a pencil into the reel hole and wind the reel hub
to remove the slack.

2. Endless tapes

Do not use an endless tape, as this could damage the mechanism of
the unit.
