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.

1	LOAD 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
	point 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.
	FIND PROGRAMME START
2	POINT
	If the tape is advanced past the start point, press REW
	or turn the TIME SCAN SHUTTLE ring to the left.
	To go forward, press FF or turn the TIME SCAN
	SHUTTLE ring to the right.

	Press PLAY. "BEST" appears blinking in the recorder's
	display panel during automatic tracking (☞ pg. 22)
	● Playback picture quality of LP recordings will not be
	as high as SP recordings.
4	STOP PLAYBACK

●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.

NOTE:

Depending on the type of tape used, there may be times when the indication is not correct.
