ENGLISH

PROBLEM

the TV screen

A cassette was automatically ejected during recording

Error message: 'NO CASSETTE' ' ' will

No cassette was inserted. Insert a cassette and switch off the video recorder using

STANDBY/ON .

A cassette was inserted with the security tab removed. Undo the erase protection (chapter 'Manual Recording', section 'Preventing accidental erasing of cassettes') or insert a different cassette.

Error message: 'ALL

TIMERS OCCUPIED'
