This section shows you how to insert a video cassette and to play it. For more information on using the advanced features, see “Additional Operations” on pages 36 through 57.
Inserting a video cassetteGently insert a cassette with the arrow indication facing upwards. The cassette is automatically loaded into the cassette compartment and the Video/TV turns on. If you insert a cassette without a safety tab, playback automatically starts.
Ejecting a video cassettePress EJECT 6.
You can eject the cassette even if the power is in standby mode.
Protecting your cassette against accidental erasureThe cassette has a safety tab to protect against accidentally erasing a previous recording. Break off the safety tab with a screw driver or a similar tool to prevent recording.
If the safety tab is removed, the cassette is ejected when you try to record on it.
To record on a cassette with the safety tab broken off, simply cover the tab hole with adhesive tape.

Resetting the tape counterThe tape counter helps you to locate a certain scene after playback. Press COUNTER RESET on the remote control to set the counter to “00:00:00” before playing the tape. The tape counter is automatically reset to “00:00:00” whenever a cassette is inserted. The Video/TV keeps counting the length of the tape being played. Note, however, that the tape counter does not count the portions without video signals recorded.
