VIDEO CASSETTE TAPE INFORMATION

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.

PRECAUTIONS

•Avoid moisture. Moisture condensation may occur on the tape if it is moved from a cold place to a warm place. Before using a tape with these conditions, to avoid damage of the tape and your VCR, 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.
