OPERATING HINTS
•In manual recording, Timer recording, Instant Timer Recording, playback, or fast forward modes, the VCR automatically starts rewinding at the end of the tape. The cassette will stop at the beginning of the tape and be ejected, and the VCR will turn itself off.
•After you have finished using the VCR, rewind, eject, and remove the cassette. Place the cassette in its protective sleeve to protect it from dust. It is not necessary to rewind the cassette before removing it, but if you do, it will be ready to play or record the next time you use it.
•Be sure the VCR Channel Selector is on the correct channel you wish to record. The channel that is being recorded can always be checked by setting the television to the VCR chan- nel (3 or 4) and pressing the TV/VCR selector to turn the VCR indicator on.
•Do not attempt to hook up more than one television set to the VCR for either recording or playback.
