•The table above indicates the colour television system you should use, as well as the setting for each switch, when using your VCR to record signals in

each broadcasting system, or to play back tapes from each of the different colour systems. For example, when using a colour TV which uses a PAL- B/G system, if you select the PAL-B/G mode on your VCR (refer to table ~ for the setting of each switch), you will be able to record PAL-B/G broadcasts, and also play back PAL tapes.

• "~" indicates that recording and playback are not possible unless you connect your TV to the VCR with the AUDIO IN/OUT and VIDEO IN/OUT terminals. Consequently, this mark indicates that you can only use a TV that is equipped with AUDIO IN/OUT and VIDEO IN/OUT terminals.

• "0" indicates that recording and playback are possible when you connect your TV to the VCR using either the AUDIO IN/OUT and VIDEO IN/OUT terminals or the RF OUT terminal.

• When recording a French SECAM-L broadcast, and when playing back a SECAM tape using a SECAM-L TV, connect your TV using the AUDIO

IN/OUT and VIDEO IN/OUT terminals.
·"*" indicates that a SECAM signal is being recorded using the MESECAM
system.
• The following are definitions of each kind of tape:
• PALtapes:	Commercially marketed PAL tapes, and tapes on which PAL-
	B/G, PAL-I, PAL-D/K (DIRT) broadcasts have been recorded.
• SECAM tapes:	Commercially marketed SECAM tapes (including those
	marketed in France), and tapes on which SECAM-B/G,

SECAM-D/K, K1 (DIRT), and SECAM-L broadcasts have been recorded in the SECAM system.

• MESECAM tapes: Tapes on which SECAM-B/G, SECAM-D/K, and K1 (DIRT)

	broadcasts have been recorded In the MESECAM system.
• NTSCtapes:	Commercially marketed NTSC tapes and tapes on which

o Set the NTSC MODE switch on the rear of the VCR either to "3.58", "4.43" or "NTSC -7 PAL CTV" to match the TV being used.

lj When a broadcast system is SECAM, set the SECAM MODE switch on the rear of the VCR to SECAM if you want to record it in the SECAM system. If you want to record in the MESECAM system, set to MESECAM. Also, set the SECAM MODE switch to MESECAM if the tape being played back is recorded in MESECAM. Set the SECAM MODE switch to SECAM if the tape being played back is recorded in the SECAM system.

NOTE:

If you make a mistake in setting the position of the SECAM MODE switch, the tape which you recorded will not play back in colour when you play it back using another SECAM only or MESECAM only system .

@After completing 0 and lj, set the COLOUR MODE switch to the AUTO position, and the VCR will automatically discriminate between "PAL", "NTSC" and "SECAM".

Playing Back an NTSC Tape (NTSC ~ PAL)

This VCR allows you to view NTSC~format tapes on your PAL-compatible TV receiver, as well as on an NTSC-compatible or multi-standard TV set.

NOTES:		tGl•
It is advisable that this VCR be used, as a rule,
with an NTSC-compatible TV set or with a multi-
standard TV receiver with NTSC 3.58/4.43
compatibility. While the VCR is usable with a
PAL-compatible TV receiver as well,	please
note the following restrictions:

•The vertical raster size is slightly smaller than normal. This is not a machine malfunction.

•If the PAL TV lacks a V-HOLD control, you cannot view NTSC video programmes because the vertical synchronization will remain "out." If your PAL TV has a V-HOLD control, you can enjoy NTSC videos by stabilizing the vertical sync. with the V-HOLD knob.

•Horizontal lines may appear on the screen when using special playback functions (Video Search, Stiil Screen, Slow Shuttle). Also, these horizontal lines may be accompanied by a loss of colour, depending on their position. Should this occur, colour can be restored by pressing the TRACKING ..... or

... button while in Video Search or Slow mode.

•You cannot dub an NTSC video from this VCR onto another PAL-compatible VCR. If a tape created in this matter is played back on another PALcompatible VCR, no picture wiil be displayed.

Playing Back a Tape with Hi-Fi Audio Tracks

This VCR can play back tapes with Hi-Fl audio tracks recorded in different TV standards and at different tape speeds.

I~	Hi-Fi audio compatibility
		Tape speed
	SP		LP		EP
PAL	0		0
MESECAM	0		0		-
SECAM	0		0
NTSC	0		0		0

o This VCR automatically discriminates between tapes recorded in different modes (SP, LP, EP).

o For the switch settings required to maintain compatibility with tapes recorded in different TV standards, see pages 3 and 4 of this manual.

NOTE:

Stereo and bilingual audio are available only at the AUDIO OUT jacks. The RF OUT jack yields only monaural audio.

Audio Mode Selection

AUDIO

OUT

c:::::::J

BASIC OPERATIONS

The audio outputs at the AUDIO OUT R/L-MONO jacks are available in several different modes. The AUDIO OUT button on the remote control is used to make a selection from these modes in a cyclic sequence.

1)Normally the VCR should be placed in Hi-Fi mode, in which the indicators IT] and [}[] are lit up on the fluorescent display and the OSD, and "I" L R "I" is displayed for some time on the TV screen.

In Hi-Fi mode the VCR can play tapes with stereo or bilingual audio (main channel from the left, and sub channel from the right).

2)Pressing the AUDIO OUT button the first time sends only the left-channel audio to both the AUDIO OUT Rand L-MONO jacks.

3)Pressing the button a second time sends only the right-channel audio to

both the AUDIO OUT Rand L-MONO jacks.

4) Pressing it a third time sends the mono audio recorded on the linear track to both AUDIO OUT Rand L-MONO jacks.

Pressing the AUDIO OUT button on the remote control selects one of four audio modes described above in a cyclic sequence.

NOTE:

•The VCR will automatically switch into mono mode from the linear audio track if the quality of the Hi-Fi audio tracks is too poor, or if the tracking is "out".

Adjusting Hi-Fi Audio Tracking

o Normally you can obtain the optimal sound automatically by using the auto tracking function .

o If the Hi-Fi audio is unstable (frequent dropouts, etc.) with a pre-recorded video or a tape recorded on another VCR or in NT$C SP mode, restore normal tracking while playing back the tape as described below:

o Simultaneously press the TRACKING ..... and ... buttons.

~Press the TRACKING ..... button repeatedly at short, equal intervals until the IT] and [}[] indicators disappear from the fluorescent display and the

OSD "I" L R "I" indicators disappear.

ID Press the TRACKING ... button in the same manner while counting the number of presses until IT] and [}[] and the OSD "I" L R "I" indicators reappear, and then disappear again.

e Press the TRACKING ..... button again in the same manner half the number of times counted in step ID above to obtain optimal tracking.

FULL AUTO PLAY FUNCTION

The convenient auto play feature lets you save some manual operation steps in tape playback.

When a cassette with its erasure prevention tab removed is loaded into the VCR, the deck automatically turns itself on and starts playback. When the end of the tape is reached, the VCR automatically rewinds the tape to the beginning and ejects it.

NOTE:

•Whenyou wishto play a tape with its erasure prevention tab unremoved (or removed but covered up with tape), load the cassette (theVCR will automatically turn on), and pressthe PLAY button.
