This unit is equipped with an Automatic Voltage Selector. The unit can be used where the local voltage indication is

between 110-240 V, without any manual voltage adjust ment.

This highly functional design allows loading the video

cassette from the front, thus minimizing the space required for the placement.

The revolutionary newly developed hi-fi stereo recording system features two rotary audio heads arranged on the video head cylinder and an FM conversion recording method. The result of this innovative system is superb sound quality with a dynamic range of 90 dB, wide frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz and 0.005% wow

and flutter.

The excellent audio quality, outstanding tape economy,

continuous 4-hour audio recording capability and Audio

Rec Level Meter make this VTR ideal for use as a

top-quality audio cassette recorder.

This VTR allows recording and playback of the stereo

sound of TV programmes broadcast via "Simulcast” by connecting an FM tuner to the Audio Input Sockets.

The new Hi-Fi stereo system in combination with the built-in

multiplex tuner can process audio two-channel as well as

monaural signals for both recording and playback. Even if the TV set used is of the mono type, stereo or bilingual sound of recorded programmes or sound of TV pro grammes,- being received on the VTR tuner and played back through the TV set can be reproduced via a connected

hi-fi stereo system with external speakers.

The clock/timer of the NV-H65 is programmed with the calendar up to the end of 2001, so it knows exactly what day of the week it is on any given date. Programming of as

many as 8 timer recordings is possible up to one month in

advance.

This VTR automatically turns itself on when a video

cassette is inserted even if it .was turned off. When the tab of the inserted cassette is broken out, playback will start automatically. Also, even if the VTR is off when the Eject Button is pressed, it automatically turns itself on to eject the cassette tape and it turns itself off again. When a video cassette tape with a broken out tab is

inserted and the VTR is switched over to recording, OTR or timer recording, the cassette tape will be automatically ejected. When the tape reaches its end (except during OTR and timer recording), it will automatically rewind to the begin

ning.

If the VTR On/Off button is pressed during the rewind mode including Auto Rewind, the VTR will eject the

cassette and turn itself off when rewinding is completed.

Super Still, Super Still Advance and Super Fine Slow Playback are possible with superb picture quality with minimum noise and jitter.

The built-in tuner in this VTR allows pre-tuning of as many as 16 TV stations. So this VTR can accommodate virtually any increase in available TV programmes in the future.

Whenever an operation button is pressed, the activated

function is immediately Indicated on this easy-to-see display. It shows you at a glance, in what operation mode the VTR is functioning.

The new Lap Time Counter is a great improvement over

the approximate counter systems of conventional VTRs. It

gives you an exact reading of the elapsed tape time in

hours, minutes and seconds, and makes it easy to calculate

the tape time left on a cassette, (up to ±4:00.00)

This convenient function makes it possible to easily programme the VTR for recording of TV programmes with immediate start or with start within 24 hours and with the starting time and ending time precisely set to the desired

minute. When the recording ends, the VTR will automatical

ly turn itself off.

In addition to letting you control all major VTR functions, this handy Remote Controller also lets you programme timer recordings from the comfort of your armchair.

Video recorders carrying the HQ symbol mark feature the new VHS High Quality Picture System. This system assures complete compatibility with VTRs that use the conventional VHS system.

«When listening to a radio while the VTR is in operation, the

radio reception may be distorted. In this case, move the radio away from the VTR.
