You cannot record NTSC signals or dub NTSC tapes onto other VCR’s from this VCR.

•

You cannot use Slow speed, Still frame, Double Speed, Frame Advance or Tape 

Remaining with a pre-recorded NTSC tape.

On some televisions, the picture may appear in black and white or there may be no 

picture. This does not indicate a fault with your VCR.

•

On some televisions, the picture may shrink vertically causing black bands to appear at 

the top and bottom of your screen.

On some televisions, the played-back picture may roll vertically, this does not indicate a 

fault with your VCR.

Your VCR is capable of recording and playing back on an S-VHS cassette. This standard of 
video cassette will give you increased picture quality. You will only be able to record S-VHS if 
S-VHS in the Mode Menu is selected to AUTO.
