— Getting started —
Using this manual
As you read through this manual, buttons and settings on your VCR are shown in
capital letters.
e.g. Set the POWER switch to ON.
When you carry out an operation, you can hear a beep sound to indicate that the
operation is being carried out.
Before using your VCR
With your VCR, you can use Hi8 /Digital8 video cassettes. Your VCR records
and plays back pictures in the Digital8 system. Also, your VCR plays back tapes
recorded in the Hi8 /standard 8 (analog) system. Howerer, you cannot use the
functions in “Advanced Operations” on page 20 to 34 for playback in the Hi8 /
standard 8 system. To enable smooth transition, we recommend that you do not mix
pictures recorded in Hi8 /standard 8 with the Digital8 system on a tape.
Note on TV color systems
TV color systems differ from country to country. To view your recordings on a TV, you
need an NTSC system-based TV.
