LOADING, UNLOADING, PROTECTING THE TAPE CASSETTE
You can load video cassette tapes into your VCR as long as it is plugged into a power
source. Loading a cassette automatically turns the VCR on even if its power switch is
turned off. Use only video cassette tapes marked VHS .
We recommend using high grade (HG) tape. (Standard grade tape can be used, but is not
recommended.) Use only T-120 or T-160 tapes, nothing longer.

LOADING

1. Prepare to insert the cassette into the cassette slot by holding it so the long narrow
edge with the contents label faces you. The hinged narrow edge should face the VCR.
The clear plastic window showing the tape should face up.
2. Line up the cassette squarely with the cassette slot and gently push the cassette in
until the VCR pulls it in. The cassette status indicator on the fluorescent display lights
when the cassette is inserted.
The VCR’s protection circuit will eject improperly loaded cassettes. If the VCR ejects
the cassette you are trying to load, remove it and check that the contents label is
facing you and the clear plastic window showing the tape faces up. Wait a few
seconds and try again.
Also, you cannot load a cassette while all the VCR’s buttons are locked and the lock
all indicator (LOCK A) is illuminated.
3. The VCR turns on automatically. If the erase prevention tab on the cassette has been
removed, the VCR automatically plays back the tape.

UNLOADING

1. Press the EJECT button on the front of the VCR.
Even in standby mode the VCR will eject a video cassette. When you press EJECT,
the VCR automatically turns on, ejects the tape, and turns off.
You cannot eject a tape while recording without first pressing the STOP button, or
while all the VCR’s buttons are locked.
2. Remove the cassette.
