䡲 Dangerous voltage inside. Refer internal servicing to qualified

SECAM-East).
1. This recorder can also receive SECAM-B colour television 

signals for recording and playback.

2. Recordings made of SECAM-B television signals produce 

monochrome pictures if played back on a video recorder of 
SECAM-L standard, or do not produce normal colour 
pictures if played back on a PAL video recorder with 
SECAM-B system incorporated (even if the TV set is SECAM-
compatible).

3. SECAM-L prerecorded cassettes or recordings made with a 

SECAM-L video recorder produce monochrome pictures 
when played back with this recorder.

4. This recorder cannot be used for the SECAM-L standard. Use 

a SECAM-L recorder to record SECAM-L signals.

䡲 Please read the various precautions on pages 1 and 2 before 

installing or operating the recorder.
