VIDEO CASSETTE

This TV/VCR will operate with any cassette that has the VHS mark. For best results, we recommend the use of high-quality tapes. Do not use poor quality or damaged tapes.

PRECAUTIONS

INSERTING A CASSETTE

Avoid moisture. Moisture condensation may occur on the tape if it is moved from a cold place to a warm place or visa versa. Before using a tape with these conditions, to avoid damage of the tape and your TV/VCR, wait until the tape has warmed to room temperature and the moisture has evaporated.

Avoid extreme heat, high humidity and magnetic fields.

Do not tamper with the cassette mechanism.

Do not touch the tape with your fingers.

Insert the cassette in the direction as shown. Push in gently, but continuously, on the center-back of the cassette until it is drawn into the TV/VCR.

The TV/VCR will automatically turn on.
