To record NTSC colour system programmes
NTSC colour signals can be recorded on this unit.
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 quality.
When playing back, the unit automatically detects the tape speed.
To check the remaining tape length (except for NTSC-recorded tapes)
Press DISPLAY. The white bar indicates the approximate length of tape
remaining.

To record stereo and bilingual programmes
Set the connected TV to output stereo or bilingual sound. When stereo or
bilingual sound is received through the line inputs, the STEREO indicator
lights up. You cannot select the sound to listen to while recording.
How sound is recorded on a video tape
The unit records sound onto two separate tracks. Hi-fi audio is recorded
onto the main track along with the picture. Monaural sound is recorded
onto the normal audio track along the edge of the tape.
