Operating Your VCR

Your TV/VCR has built-in VCR playback and recording capabilities, offering the ultimate in VCR convenience. This chapter explains the basic of using the VCR features of your unit.

Video Cassette Tapes

Your VCR uses VHS tapes. Only use tapes that have the official VHS mark:

Tape length/tape speed

VHS tapes come in different lengths, which, along with the tape speed, determine how much program time you can put on one tape. The following chart shows the maximum recording/ playback time for each type of tape and each tape speed.

Type	SP (standard play)	LP (long play)	EP (Extend play)
		(Play only)
T-160	2 hours, 40 min.	5 hours 20 min	8 hours
T-120	2 hours	4 hours	6 hours
T-90	1hour 30 min.	3 hours	4 hours 30 min.
T-60	1 hour	2 hours	3 hours

Protecting your tapes

You can protect your tapes by removing the erasure prevention tab on the back of the tape. When this tab is removed, VCR cannot record over it. To once again be able to record on a tape with its tab removed, simply place a piece of tape over the space left by the removed tab.

Inserting a Tape

To insert a tape into your TV/VCR, hold it so that the win- dows on the tape face up, and the label of the tape faces away from the TV/VCR. Gently place the tape in the cas- sette compartment and push it in slowly. Once it is in the compartment part-way, the TV/VCR will pull the tape the rest of the way.

You can insert a tape into your TV/VCR even when it is

turned off. If the tape has its erasure prevention tab removed, the TV/VCR will turn on and begin playing the tape.

Ejecting a tape

To remove a tape from the compartment, press the STOP/EJECT button on the front panel or on the remote control. The TV/VCR will eject the tape part-way. Grasp the cassette and remove the tape from the TV/VCR.
