VIEWING A VIDEO TAPE

Loading a Video Tape

1. Turn on the TV and set it to the same chan-
nel as the VCR’s 3-CH-4 switch.
Note: If you are using a TV/monitor that is
connected to the VCR’s AUDIO/VIDEO OUT
jacks, set the TV/monitor to the video
mode.
2. Hold the cassette with the ma in label fac-
ing up and the spine facing out from the
VCR. Then insert the cassette into the
VCR’s compartment and gently push the
center of its spine until the VCR draws it in.
The VCR automatically turns on. If the erase-
protection tab has been removed from the cas-
sette, playback automatically begins (see
“Erase Protection” on Page 27).
Caution: Never insert anything except a VHS
video cassette into the cassette compartment.
Anything else might damage the VCR.
