Erasure Prevention

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

1

To prevent erasure, break off the tab with a screwdriver.

2

To record again, cover the hole with cellophane tape.

VCR maintenance

●Use only tapes with the mark.

●Remove any light adhesive stick-on notes from the video cas- sette tape before putting the tape in the VCR. Removable labels can jam the VCR.

●Periodic maintenance is required to maintain your VCR’s excel- lent performance. This VCR has an Automatic Head Cleaner. However, the video heads will require replacement eventually. Only an authorized service center should perform this service.
