Operation

Turning on the power and inserting the cassette

Before operating the VTR, check that the equipment has been connected correctly.

The VTR must be installed on a level surface for operation.

1 Turn on the power.

2 Insert the cassette tape.

Insert the tape into its prescribed position without forcing it into place.

3 Check that the STOP lamp has lighted.

When the tape is inserted, the cylinder starts rotating automatically, the tape is loaded, and the VTR is set to the STOP mode.

STOP mode

1 Press the STOP button to set the VTR to the STOP mode.

The STOP button lights, and the tape stops traveling.

O When the time set by setup menu item No.400 (STILL TIMER) has elapsed, the tape protection mode is established in order to protect the tape. When the STOP, REW, FF or PLAY button is pressed, the VTR is set to the corresponding mode.

<Caution concerning STILL TIMER setting>

The cumulative standby time in the same places on the tape lengthens when the same parts of the same tape are used repeatedly. To protect the tape, make the standby time in the same place as short as possible.
