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.

1	Put a cassette into the cassette slot.
	The cassette is inserted automatically. '	' will appear on the display.

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

0:00:02

Picture / sound quality is poor

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.

Please read the section 'Selecting the picture settings (SMART PICTURE)', or the chapter 'Eliminating picture interference'.

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'.

3	To stop the playback, press STOP on the remote control or
	STOP/EJECT	on the video recorder.

4	To eject the cassette, press STOP/EJECT	on the video
	recorder when the video recorder stops the playback (STOP).
