Removing the Plastic Cover from the Front Panel

A thin, plastic cover may protect the front panel of your VCR.

Before using the VCR, lift a corner of the plastic, then peel it off.

Putting Batteries in the Remote Control

1

Remove the battery compartment lid on the bottom of the remote control by sliding it in the direction of the arrow.

2

Place two AA batteries inside the battery compartment

with their + and – ends aligned as indicated.

3

Replace the battery compartment lid.

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.
