Playing cassettes

You can use this video recorder to play back recorded VHS video cassettes. You can operate the video recorder using the remote control or the buttons on the front of the video recorder.

What does VHS mean?

'Video Home System' (VHS) has become the world-wide standard for the playback and recording of amateur video cassettes. This popular standard continues to be improved. Super VHS (S-VHS) provides a sharper picture and less noise. Digital VHS (D-VHS) only works with digital picture and sound signals. Your video recorder can only record and play standard VHS cassettes.

	The cassette is inserted automatically. '	' will appear on the display.

2	Press the Play button PLAY	to view the tape.

Picture/ sound quality is poor

When playing rental videos or older, poorer quality cassettes, it may not be possible to completely filter out picture and sound interference. This is not a fault in your machine.

Read the chapter 'Eliminating picture interference'.

During playback the automatic TV system will switch-over automatically. If picture/sound interference occurs, attempt to fix the problem by manually switching the TV system. In that case, turn to chapter 'Additional functions' section 'Switching the video (color) system'.

3	To stop the playback, press STOP on the remote control or
	STOP/EJECT	on the video recorder.

4	To eject the cassette, press	STOP/EJECT	on	the video
	recorder when the video recorder stops the playback (STOP).
	To eject a cassette, you can	also use EJECT	on	the remote
	control.
