VIDEO CASSETTE TAPES

Correct tape thread check function

If the correct tape thread check function is on, after the
cassette tape is loaded, a mechanism will operate for
about 12 seconds to check that the tape has been
threaded (loaded) correctly and the cassette indicator “o”
will blink during that period. If the tape is not loaded
properly, the cassette will be ejected.
NOTES:
XThis function checks to make sure that the cassette
has been correctly loaded. It is recommended to use
this function to make sure the recordings are
conducted reliably.
XIf during the tape thread check operation, the REC,
PLAY, FF, REW or STOP button is pressed, the
command will only be executed after the tape thread
has been checked. Only the EJECT button will operate
while the tape thread is being checked.
XIf in the (SET UP 3) menu “TAPE IN MODE” is set to
“REC”, the recording indicator “m” will light during the
while the tape thread is checked. However, recording
will only start after the tape thread check is completed.
To cancel recording, press the STOP button.
1Press the MENU button until the (SET UP 4) menu is
displayed.
