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
Depending on the Input Line System setting and the
NTSC on PAL TV setting, the signal format output when
the recorder is stopped varies as shown in the table
below.
Front Panel Display On • The time is shown in the front panel display when the recorder is in standby.
Off The front panel display is switched off in standby (although it still lights dimly
when setting a timer recording).
