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 or SVHS.
We recommend using high grade (HG) tape. (Standard grade tape can be used, but is not
recommended.) Use high grade VHS tape for super resolution recording. We also
recommend using T-120 or T-160 tape; 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 insert a cassette while all the VCR’s buttons are locked and the lock
all indicator (LOCK A) is lit.
3. The VCR turns on automatically. If the erasure prevention tab on the cassette has
been removed, the VCR automatically plays back the tape.
