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) works with digital picture and sound signals. Your video recorder can only record and play standard VHS cassettes.

1Put a cassette into the cassette slot.

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

2	Press the Play button PLAY G to view the tape.
	This will, for example, appear in the display:

0:00:02	aPicture/ sound quality is poor
0:00:02	b 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'.
	b 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'.

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