Basic Recording

You can record a TV show in progress by inserting a blank tape and pressing the REC button.

You can even add time in 30-minute increments up to 4 hours by pressing the REC button repeatedly; see page 76.

Note

Be sure your videotape has a Record Safety Tab. If the tab is missing, you can cover the opening with a small piece of tape. Warning: Do not cover this opening unless you are sure you want to record over the tape.

Protecting a Recorded Cassette

Video cassettes have a safety tab to prevent accidental erasure. When this tab has been removed, you cannot record on the tape.

If you wish to protect a cassette, break off the tab using a small screwdriver.

To re-record over a protected cassette (safety tab broken), cover the hole with adhesive tape.
