Using Video Cassettes

Before you play or record on a video cassette tape, please read this information on the proper care and use of video cassettes.

Use only video cassettes that bear the VHS mark: $.

There are four types of video cassettes: T-60, T-90, T-120, and T-160. The amount you can record on a tape is dependent upon the tape speed at which you record. The table below lists the recording time (hours:minutes) for each tape type according to recording speed.

Protecting video cassettes from accidental erasure

Cassettes have a safety tab to prevent erasure. Break off the safety tab with a screw driver. If you wish to record on a cassette without a safety tab, cover the hole with

cellophane tape. If you insert a video cassette without a safety tab into the unit after setting the timer recording program, “( ) ” will blink on the display panel in the power

off mode and the unit will automatically eject the cassette. In the power on mode, the unit will playback automatically.

If you insert a video cassette with a safety tab into the unit after setting the timer recording program, the unit will be in stand-by mode.

Inserting video cassettes

Firmly insert the cassette into the cassette compartment with the label up. An inverted cassette cannot be inserted. Do not attempt to insert a video cassette if the unit is unplugged. Do not insert fingers or any foreign object beyond the door flaps of the cassette compartment; this could lead to injury or equipment damage.

Removing video cassettes

Press [VCR EJECT] on the front panel and the VCR will eject the tape. Pull the cassette out gently. Do not attempt to pull out the video cassette after the unit begins to load the video cassette. Let it finish loading, then press [EJECT] to eject it.
