PLAYBACK OF A VIDEO TAPE
PLAYING BACK AN S-VHS TAPE
S-VHS (super -VHS) pre-recorded tapes give you a better quality playback picture with
increased detail and depth.
Your VCR will automatically recognise which type of tape is being used, VHS or S-VHS and
playback the appropriate standard accordingly.
NOTES:
PLAYING BACK AN NTSC TAPE
NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) is a different TV standard to PAL and is used
in some Non-European Countries. Your VCR can playback pre-recorded NTSC tapes onto a
PAL system TV, but cannot record an NTSC signal onto a video tape.
Note that..
• You cannot record NTSC signals or dub NTSC tapes onto other VCR’s from this VCR.
• You cannot use Slow speed, Still frame, Double Speed, Frame Advance or Tape
Remaining with a pre-recorded NTSC tape.
• On some televisions, the picture may appear in black and white or there may be no
picture. This does not indicate a fault with your VCR.
• On some televisions, the picture may shrink vertically causing black bands to appear at
the top and bottom of your screen.
• On some televisions, the played-back picture may roll vertically, this does not indicate a
fault with your VCR.
• All of the VCR’s playback functions can be used during S-VHS playback, SLOW,
PLAY/X2 VISUAL SEARCH, etc.
• Your VCR is S-VHS playback only, it will not record S-VHS.
• Some picture noise may be observed on the screen in Long Play (LP) mode.
