What does VHS mean?

'Video Home System' (VHS) has become the world-wide standard for the playback and recording of amateur video cassettes. This popular standard continues to be improved. Super VHS (S-VHS) provides a sharper picture and less noise. Digital VHS (D-VHS) works with digital picture and sound signals. Your video recorder can only record and play standard VHS cassettes.

1Put a cassette into the cassette slot.

The cassette is inserted automatically. ' v ' will appear on the display.

2	Press the Play button PLAY G to view the tape.
	This will, for example, appear in the display:

0:00:02	aPicture/ sound quality is poor
0:00:02	b When playing rental videos or older, poorer quality cassettes, it may not be
	possible to completely filter out picture and sound interference. This is not
	a fault in your machine.
	Read the chapter 'Eliminating picture interference'.
	b During playback the automatic TV system will switch-over automatically. If
	picture/sound interference occurs, attempt to fix the problem by manually
	switching the TV system. In that case, turn to chapter 'Additional functions'
	section 'Switching the video (color) system'.
