standard grade VHS video cassette tapes for optimal
performance.
1 Place the cassette, label side up, in the loading slot.
Gently push the center of the cassette until it is
loaded automatically.
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 “o” will 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
“o” will light on the digital display.
To record again on a tape without erasure-prevention tab,
cover the hole with adhesive tape.
NOTE:
œ If you try to record on a cassette without
erasure-prevention tab, the VCR will eject the cassette.

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
required.
