ERASURE PREVENTION TAB
00460
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.
PREVENTING ACCIDENTAL ERASURE
Video cassettes come with an erasure prevention tab. Removing it stops the tape’s contents from being erased or recorded over. The VCR automatically ejects a cassette if you try to record over it with the erasure prevention tab removed.
DAMAGED CASSETTE TAPE
We recommend taking any torn or broken cassette tape requiring repair only to profession- als who specialize in such procedures. The adhesives on many common types of tape could damage the heads on the VCR.
WHEN TO REPLACE A TAPE
We recommend you replace the tape cassette with a new one according to the mode in which it is used. Refer to Table C.
