Safety tab
To save a recording
To prevent accidental erasure, break off the
safety tab as illustrated. To record on the tape
again, cover the tab hole with adhesive tape.
To record NTSC colour system programmes (SLV-EZ77AS/EZ77NZ only)
NTSC colour signals can be recorded on this VCR from the LINE-1 IN (SAT
IN/STB IN), LINE-2 IN or LINE-3 IN jacks.
To select the line input, press INPUT SELECT or PROG +/– so that “L1”,
“L2” or “L3” appears in the display window.
For tape speed, select SP or EP in step 4.
EP provides recording time three times as long as SP, however, SP produces
better picture and sound quality.
When playing back, the VCR automatically detects the tape speed.
