Handling Cassette Tapes  
The cassette tapes should always be stored vertically, in  
their cases, away from high temperatures, magnetic  
fields, direct sunlight, dirt, dust and locations subject to  
mold formation.  
Do not tamper with the cassette mechanism and never  
touch the tape with your fingers.  
ø The time display will switch to the reset counter  
“0:00:00” display.  
Protect the cassette tapes from shocks or strong  
vibrations.  
ø After the cassette tape is loaded, a mechanism  
will operate for about 5 seconds to check that  
the tape has been threaded correctly and the  
cassette indicator owill blink during that  
period.  
To Protect your Recordings  
After having recorded a tape, if you wish to keep the  
recording, use a flathead screwdriver to break off the  
erasure-prevention tab on the cassette.  
ø When the cassette is loaded, if the tape has  
been threaded correctly, the cassette indicator  
owill light on the digital display.

that may cause injury and damages to the VCR.  
œ If your hand gets stuck in the cassette loading slot,  
unplug the power cord and consult the dealer where  
the unit was bought. Do not forcibly pull the hand out  
as that may cause severe injuries.  
œ Some rewinders may entangle the tape, and therefore  
their use is not recommended.  
œ When tapes are recorded over and over again, the  
recording quality will deteriorate. Refer to “Concerning  
the Number of Times Tapes can be Rerecorded on” on  
page 14, and replace the tape with a new tape as
