The easiest, most basic operation possible with your video recorder is tape playback. Already-recorded signals on a video tape are read by your video recorder and displayed on your TV just like a TV programme.

S-VHS playback is possible only with S-VHS PAL tapes recorded in SP, LP or EP or S-VHS NTSC tapes recorded in the SP mode.

1	LOAD A CASSETTE
	Make sure the window side is up, the rear label side is
	facing you and the arrow on the front of the cassette is
	point toward the recorder. Don't apply too much
	pressure when inserting.
	● The recorder power comes on automatically.
	● Select the appropriate colour system ( pg. 52).
	● If the record safety tab has been removed, playback
		begins automatically ( pg. 19).
	● If the record safety tab is intact, the recorder checks
		the tape information for Programme Navigation. For
		details, refer to “Navigation ” ( pg. 38).
