Battery Usage CAUTION

To prevent battery leakage that may result in bodily injury or dam- age to the unit:

Install ALL batteries correctly, with the + and - markings on the battery aligned as indicated on the unit.

Do not mix batteries, for example, old with new or carbon with alkaline.

Remove batteries when the unit will not be used for a long time.

VCP Maintenance

Use only tapes with the mark.

Remove any light adhesive stick-on notes from the video cassette tape before putting the tape in the VCP. Removable labels can jam the VCP.

The VCP requires periodic maintenance to maintain its excellent performance. This VCP has an Automatic Head Cleaner. However, the video heads will require replacement eventually. Only an authorized service center should perform this service.

Types of Video Cassette Tapes/Tape Speeds

The chart below shows the playback time for three types of video cassettes (T160, T120, and T60). There are three playback speeds: SP, LP, and SLP.

You can only play a tape in the speed in which it was recorded. You can not change the tape speed at the VCP.

The slower the tape speed, the more programming will fit on the tape. SLP is the slowest tape speed.
