is forced to change to VHS.
● If “MESECAM” is selected when the tape speed is set to EP mode, the tape speed will
be forced to change to LP mode.
● It is not possible to select EP mode if “MESECAM” is selected.
About NTSC Playback
● Some TVs shrink the picture vertically and place black bars at the top and bottom of
the TV screen. This is not a malfunction on the part of either the unit or the TV.
● The picture may roll up and down. This can be corrected using the V-HOLD control
found on some TVs. (This cannot be corrected if the TV does not have a V-HOLD
control.)
● The counter and tape remaining time readings will be incorrect.
● During search, still, or frame-by-frame playback, the picture will be distorted, and
there may be a loss of colour.
● Depending on the type of TV, the top and bottom portions of superimposed displays
may be cut off during NTSC playback.
