LOADING, UNLOADING, PROTECTING THE TAPE CASSETTE

You can load video cassette tapes into your VCR as long as it is plugged into a power source. Loading a cassette automatically turns the VCR on even if its power switch is turned off. Use only video cassette tapes marked VHS or SVHS.

We recommend using high grade (HG) tape. (Standard grade tape can be used, but is not recommended.) Use high grade VHS tape for super resolution recording. We also recommend using T-120 or T-160 tape; nothing longer.

LOADING

1.Prepare to insert the cassette into the cassette slot by holding it so the long narrow edge with the contents label faces you. The hinged narrow edge should face the VCR. The clear plastic window showing the tape should face up.

2.Line up the cassette squarely with the cassette slot and gently push the cassette in until the VCR pulls it in. The cassette status indicator on the fluorescent display lights when the cassette is inserted.

The VCR’s protection circuit will eject improperly loaded cassettes. If the VCR ejects the cassette you are trying to load, remove it and check that the contents label is facing you and the clear plastic window showing the tape faces up. Wait a few seconds and try again.

Also, you cannot load cassette while all the VCR’s buttons are locked and the lock all indicator (LOCK A) is lit.

3.The VCR turns on automatically. If the erasure prevention tab on the cassette has been removed, the VCR automatically plays back the tape.
