VIDEO CASSETTE TAPES

Use only video cassette tapes bearing the VHS logo. This VCR was primarily designed for use with T-120 and T-160 cassette tapes. It is recommended that you use T-120 or T-160 standard grade VHS video cassette tapes for optimal performance.

Loading

1Place the cassette, label side up, in the loading slot. Gently push the center of the cassette until it is loaded automatically.

NOTE:

œIf using longer tapes (i.e. T-180) the tape travel will not be as stable and that may cause problems.

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.

Protect the cassette tapes from shocks and strong vibrations.

To Protect your Recordings

After having recorded a tape, if you wish to keep the recording, use a flat-tripped screwdriver to break off the erasure-prevention tab on the cassette.

To record again on a tape without an erasure-prevention tab, cover the hole with adhesive tape.

Erasure-prevention tab

øThe time display will switch to the reset counter “0H 00M 00S” display.

øThe cassette indicator “o” lights on the digital display.

NOTE:

œIf you try to record on a cassette without an erasure-prevention tab, the VCR will eject the cassette.

Unloading

1In stop mode, press the EJECT button.

øThe cassette is automatically ejected.

NOTES:

œDo not insert any other object in the cassette loading slot, as that may cause injury and damage to the VCR.

œIf 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 your hand out as that may cause severe injuries.

Precautions concerning the video cassette tapes

œDo not use tapes that are damaged, tapes that have been cut and repaired or tapes that have been altered in any way.

œSome rewinders may tangle the tape, and therefore their use is not recommended.

œWhen 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 20, and replace the tape with a new tape as required.
