About the input line system
This recorder is compatible with PAL-N, 3.58 NTSC and 
PAL-M TV systems. The Input Line System and Input 
Colour System settings determine how the recorder 
treats incoming video signals from an external input or 
the built-in TV tuner.
Please note the following points when changing the 
input line system:
• If, when the Input Line System setting is changed, the
screen goes blank (due to incompatibility with your 
TV), you can switch back by pressing and holding the 
front panel 
STOP
button then pressing
OPEN/
CLOSE
(also front panel) while the recorder is
stopped.
• When you switch the Input Line System setting the
Copy List is erased. If you switch the setting using the
STOP
button and
OPEN/CLOSE
buttons as
described above, there is no confirmation, so please 
use with care.
• You can’t mix recordings of different TV line systems
on the same disc.
• When you change this setting, the
Input Colour
System
setting also changes (see below).
About NTSC on PAL TV
Depending on the Input Line System setting and the 
NTSC on PAL TV setting, the signal format output when 
the recorder is stopped varies as shown in the table 
below.
About the input colour system
The available options of the Input Colour System setting 
depend on the Input Line System setting. The table below 
shows the different options available.

button on the front panel, then press
