VIDEO CASSETTE TAPES

Correct tape thread check function

If the correct tape thread check function is on, after the cassette tape is loaded, a mechanism will operate for about 5 seconds to check that the tape has been threaded (loaded) correctly and the cassette indicator “o” will blink during that period. If the tape is not loaded properly, the cassette will be ejected.

NOTES:

œThis function checks to make sure that the cassette has been correctly loaded. It is recommended to use this function to make sure the recordings are conducted reliably.

œIf during the tape thread check operation, the REC, PLAY or STOP button is pressed or if the SHUTTLE ring is turned, the command will only be executed after the tape thread has been checked. Only the EJECT button will operate while the tape thread is being checked.

œIf in the (SET UP 3) menu “TAPE IN MODE” is set to “REC”, the recording indicator “ m” will light during the while the tape thread is checked. However, recording will only start after the tape thread check is completed. To cancel recording, press the STOP button.

1Press the MENU button until the (SET UP 4) menu is displayed.
