If you later decide to record on a protected cas- sette, simply cover the hole with adhesive tape or slide the tab to the right.

Lining up recordings (assemble cut)

When you add a further recording to a cassette, which already has a recording on it, a short blank (flicker) can appear between the old and the new recording or the picture itself can flicker. To help reduce these from occurring, proceed as follows:

1.Find the tape position of the old recording where you want to insert the new recording.

2.Look at the last minute of the old recording (playback).

new recording is to go and press REC I .

4.Now start recording as usual by pressing REC I on the remote control.

5.Stop recording with STOP C-L .
