VIEWING A VIDEO TAPE

Loading a Video Tape

1.Turn on the TV and set it to the same chan- nel as the VCR’s 3-CH-4switch.

Note: If you are using a TV/monitor that is connected to the VCR’s R-AUDIO-L/VIDEO OUT jacks, set the TV/monitor to its video mode.

2.Hold the cassette with the main label fac- ing up and the spine facing out from the VCR. Then insert the cassette into the VCR’s compartment and gently push the center of its spine until the VCR draws it in.

The VCR automatically turns on. If the erase- protection tab has been removed from the cas- sette, playback automatically begins (see “Erase Protection” on Page 38).

Caution: Never insert anything except a VHS video cassette into the cassette compartment. Anything else might damage the VCR.

•If the tape reaches the end before you press STOP or STOP EJECT on the VCR, the VCR automatically stops the tape and completely rewinds it. If the erase-pro- tection tab has been removed, the VCR then ejects the cassette.

•When the VCR is off, you can press STOP EJECT on the VCR to eject a tape. The VCR turns on, ejects the tape, then turns itself back off.
