Your VCR can playback
video tapes recorded using
the NTSC colour system (TV
system usually used in USA
and Japan) on a PAL I TV (TV
system used in the UK).
Play an NTSC tape as you
would a normal VHS tape.
Your VCR will playback NTSC
tapes recorded using
Standard play (SP), Long
play (LP) and Extended play
(EP). However, there will be a
deterioration in sound quality
in the LP and EP modes.
If your TV supports the NTSC
system, the picture from your
VCR will fill the whole screen,
if not, the picture will have a
black band at the top and
bottom of the screen.
Please note that there will be
no sound during PAUSE.
