VIDEO CASSETTE

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

PRECAUTIONS

Avoid moisture. Moisture condensation may occur on the tape if it is moved from a cold place to a warm place or vice versa. Before using a tape with these conditions, to avoid damage of the tape and your unit, 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.

TWO DIFFERENT TAPE SPEEDS

Before recording, select the tape speed from : SP mode (Standard Play) or SLP mode (Super Long Play).
