About the input line system
This recorder is compatible with PAL,
SECAM, 3.58 NTSC and PAL-60 TV systems.
The Input Line System and Input Colour
System settings determine how the recorder
treats incoming video signals from an
external input or the built-in TV tuner.
Please note the following points when
changing the input line system:
• When the current input is a built-in tuner
channel preset, changing the input line
system will usually also affect the input
line system of the
AV2 (INPUT 1/
DECODER)
input. However if the
AV2/L1
In
setting is set to
Decoder
, then the L2
input is affected instead.
• If, when the Input Line System setting is
changed, the screen goes blank (due to
incompatibility with your TV), you can
switch back by pressing and holding the
front panel
STOP
button then pressing
OPEN/CLOSE
(also front panel) while
the recorder is stopped.
• When you switch the Input Line System
setting the Copy List is erased. If you
switch the setting using the
STOP
button and
OPEN/CLOSE
buttons as
described above, there is no
confirmation, so please use with care.
• You can’t mix recordings of different TV
line systems on the same disc.
• When you change this setting, the
Input
Colour System
setting also changes
(see below).
About NTSC on PAL TV
