Hitachi VT-M291A ERASE PREVENTION, VIDEO CASETTE TAPE

VIDEO CASETTE TAPE

VIDEO CASETTE TAPE

This VCR will operate with any cassette that has the VHS mark. For best results we recommend the use of high-quality tapes.

Do not use poor quality or damaged tapes.

The table below shows the recording/playback time using T-60, T-120, or T160 tapes in the SP, LP, or SLP mode.

When handling video tapes, follow the precautions below:

Avoid moisture, which can condense on the tape if it is moved from a cold place to a warm place. Playing a tape that has moisture in it will damage the tape and your VCR. Before using a tape with these conditions, wait until the tape has warmed to room temperature and the moisture has evaporated.

Avoid extreme heat, high humidity and magnetic fields.

Do not tamper with the cassette mechanism.

Do not touch the tape with your fingers.

ERASE PREVENTION

You may prevent accidental erasing of a tape by breaking off the tab on the back edge of the cassette. If you decide to record on the tape again, cover the hole with plastic
