Learning About Video Cassette Tapes

Choosing the Proper Tapes

Use only video cassette tapes marked VHS with this VCR. Choose good quality tapes for best results.

Caring for Video Cassette Tapes

•Keep the tapes away from direct sunlight, heat or extreme cold.

•Insert tapes with the window side up and the arrow pointing away from you.

•Do not subject tapes to violent vibrations or shocks.

•Never try to take apart or splice a video tape.

•Do not open the cassette, touch the tape, or put anything inside the video tape cartridge.

•Read the instructions supplied with a video tape

Choosing the Correct Recording Speed

Your VCR is equipped with variable tape speed. You can play or record a tape at:

•SP (Standard Play)—the fastest speed,

•SLP (Super Long Play)—the slowest speed.

When you are playing a tape, your VCR automatically selects the proper speed, even if segments of the tape have been recorded at a different speed.

When you are recording, the slower the tape speed you use, the longer the tape runs and the more program material it holds. SP provides the clearest record/playback picture, but special effects such as still picture work best in the SLP mode.

Use this chart to determine which tape speed to select when you are recording:

TAPE	SP	SLP

T-60	1hr.	3hrs.

T-120	2hrs.	6hrs.

T-160	2hrs. 40 mins.	8hrs.
