SAFETY FIRST
CAUTION

time, it is recommended that you disconnect the power cord
from the mains outlet.
Ⅲ Dangerous voltage inside. Refer internal servicing to qualified
service personnel. To prevent electric shock or fire hazard,

WARNING
There are two different types of SECAM colour systems:
SECAM-L, used in FRANCE (also called SECAM-West), and
SECAM-B, used in Eastern European countries (also called
SECAM-East).
1. This recorder can also receive SECAM-B colour television
signals for recording and playback.
2. Recordings made of SECAM-B television signals produce
monochrome pictures if played back on a video recorder of
SECAM-L standard, or do not produce normal colour
pictures if played back on a PAL video recorder with
SECAM-B system incorporated (even if the TV set is SECAM-
compatible).
3. SECAM-L prerecorded cassettes or recordings made with a
SECAM-L video recorder produce monochrome pictures
when played back with this recorder.
4. This recorder cannot be used for the SECAM-L standard. Use
a SECAM-L recorder to record SECAM-L signals.
IMPORTANT
Ⅲ Please read the various precautions on page 1 and 2 before
installing or operating the recorder.
Ⅲ It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-
recorded tapes, records, or discs without the consent of the
owner of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast
or cable programme and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or
artistic work embodied therein.
