Notes
• Tapes recorded in the LP mode cannot be played back on this VCR.
• The counter resets to “0:00:00” whenever a tape is reinserted.
• The counter stops counting when it comes to a portion with no recording.
• When you play back the tape recorded with the NTSC colour system, the counter
does not appear on the TV screen.
• Depending on your TV, the following may occur while playing an NTSC-recorded
tape:
– The picture becomes black and white.
– The picture shakes.
– No picture appears on the TV screen.
– Black streaks appear horizontally on the TV screen.
– The colour density increases or decreases.
– Deterioration of the picture quality may occur.
• If a tape has portions recorded in both PAL and NTSC systems, the time counter
reading will not be correct. This is due to the difference between the counting
cycles of the two video systems.
• While setting the menu on the TV screen, buttons for playback do not function.
