The VCR automatically selects either the NTSC, PAL, or MESECAM color system when recording TV broadcasts. When recording, select either SP (Standard Play) or LP (Long Play). LP provides twice as much recording time as SP. However, SP provides better picture quality. you can mix SP and LP on the same tape. When playing back, the VCR automatically detects the tape speed. See the table below for the maximum recording/playback time in each speed. When recording, select either SP (Standard Play) or EP (Extended Play). EP provides three times as much recording time as long as SP. However, SP provides better picture quality. To record on a tape with its safety tab removed, cover the tab hole with adhesive tape. The G-CODE feature of this VCR simplifies the task of making timer recordings. Using G-CODE, you can make all the necessary settings by just entering the desired program's 9-digit code, which is available in your local program guide. To take advantage of this feature, you must first set up your VCR and assign program positions to the various guide channels. Insert a tape with its safety tab in place. Make sure the tape is longer than the total recording time. Turn on your TV and tune in to the VCR. Use the number buttons to enter the desired program's G-CODE number. If you make a mistake, press TIMER CLEAR and enter the correct number. To record NTSC signals in EP mode, set the tape speed to LP. The G-CODE used in this VCR is for Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Macao, etc. [. . . ] The playback picture does not appear on the TV screen. If you are using a monitor, set it to video input.
