Helpful Hint

•If you are asked to insert a different tape and you put in the wrong tape, it will be ejected. Insert the requested tape. Or, press the MENU button to cancel the Tape Manager request.

•Even though a portion of tape is list- ed as “Blank,” the portion may have been recorded on another VCR.

Review the tape portion to make sure it is blank.

•The blank portion must be at least five minutes (SP) or 15 minutes (SLP).
