Videocassette Tapes

Always insert the videocassette window-side up with the arrow on the case pointing toward the VCR.

Use only videocassette tapes marked VHS . European-standard PAL VHS videocassette tapes and S-VHS prerecorded videocassette tapes are not compatible.

To prevent accidentally recording over previous- ly recorded material, remove the Record Protect Safety Tab on the videocassette case after recording.

To record a tape that has the Record Protect Safety Tab removed, place a piece of cellophane tape over the space from which the tab was removed.

NOTE: The recording time available on a videocassette depends on Tape Speed (SP or SLP) and Cassette Type (T60 = 60 minutes at SP or 180 minutes at SLP; T120 = 120 minutes at SP or 360 minutes at SLP).
