Erase Protection

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

1

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

2

To record again, cover the hole with cellophane tape.

VCR Maintenance/Video Head Cleaning

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

Periodic maintenance is required to maintain your VCR’s perfor- mance. Your VCR automatically cleans the video heads each time you insert a tape. However, the heads may become dirty. “USE CLEANING CASSETTE” may appear on the screen, or “U:01” may appear on the VCR display panel. Details are on page 79.
