Erasure Prevention

Video cassette tapes have record tabs to ensure that recordings are not erased accidentally.

1

To prevent accidental erasure, break off the tab with a screwdriv- er.

2

To record again, cover the hole with cellophane tape.

VCR maintenance

In this VCR, use only tapes with the mark.

Make sure any light adhesive stick-on notes are removed from the video cassette tape before putting the tape in the VCR. Removable labels like these can jam the VCR.

Periodic maintenance is required to maintain your VCR’s per- formance. The video heads will eventually require cleaning or replacement. Cleaning or replacement of the video heads should be performed by an authorized service center.
