SIMPLE PLAYBACK AND RECORDING
This recorder has a built-in VCR which will let you play back tapes that have been recorded in the D-VHS (bit stream) and VHS (analog) formats, as well as make your own recordings in the D-VHS and VHS formats. D-VHS cassettes and VHS can be used in the HM- DSR100DU/RU. For information on what types of cassettes can be used and which record- ing formats they work with, see the table below.
When loading a cassette, make sure the window side is up, the rear label side is facing you and the arrow on the front of the cassette is pointing towards the VCR. Do not apply excessive pressure when inserting. Incorrectly loaded cassettes can damage the recorder and/or the cassette being used.

Notes:
♦S-VHS recording is not possible on this unit.
♦S-VHS- recorded tapes cannot be played back on this unit. Make sure you turn the "D-VHS" recording mode off if you intend to record a digital satellite recording on a S-VHS cassette. We recommend that you only record digital "bit stream" signals on D-VHS cassettes.
