Basic
Playback
The easiest, most basic operation possible with your video
recorder is tape playback. Already-recorded signals on a video
tape are read by your video recorder and displayed on your TV
just like a TV programme.
Usable cassettes

Make sure the window side is up, the rear label side is
facing you and the arrow on the front of the cassette is
pointed toward the recorder. Don’t apply too much
pressure when inserting.
The recorder power comes on automatically and the
counter is reset to 0:00:00.
If the record safety tab has been removed, playback
begins automatically.

Compact VHS camcorder recordings can be played on
this video recorder. Simply place the recorded cassette
into a VHS Cassette Adapter and it can be used just like
any full-sized VHS cassette.
This video recorder can record on regular VHS and
Super VHS cassettes. However, it will record and play
back regular VHS signals only. It is not possible to play
back a recorded Super VHS tape.
Turn on the TV and select the VIDEO channel (or AV mode).
Tape Position Indicator
The tape position indicator
appears on screen when,
from the Stop mode, you
press FF, REW or perform an
Index Search. The position
of “5” in relation to “0”
(beginning) or “+” (end)
shows you where you are
on the tape.
”O.S.D.” (Z pg. 9) must
be set to “ON”, or the
indicator will not appear.
NOTE:
Depending on the type of tape used, there may be timeswhen the indication is not correct.
