NTSC video cassette playback
When using a pre-recorded NTSC video cassette tape, the connected TV set must be compatible with a 60Hz vertical frequency (sometimes known as a PAL 60Hz feature). Otherwise the on-screen picture will be affected by vertical rolling. Even if your VCR set is capable of processing NTSC video signals, the picture may be shortened vertically (appearance of black bars at the top and at the bottom of the TV screen). The dubbing of a NTSC video cassette 47 tape to a standard PAL VCR is not possible. En
