Cassettes

Power - saving features

Dimmer

Your video recorder’s display will go dim when the video is on stand-by. 

Auto power off 

If your video is connected through RF, it will switch to stand-by when no
station is received for more than five minutes.

Use only good-quality cassettes with the VHS logo.

• Keep cassettes away from moisture or dust, magnetic and electrical fields

(for example, loudspeakers and computer monitors).

• Always rewind cassettes to the beginning when you have finished using

them. Stand cassettes up with the full spool at the bottom. Always keep
cassettes in their cases.

You can protect your precious recordings from being recorded over by
breaking off the safety tab on the side of the cassette (some cassettes have
a slide). When you have removed the tab your video will eject the cassette if
ever you try to record onto it.
If you want to record onto the cassette after removing the tab, cover the hole
with sticky tape.
We advisable you to use a head - cleaning cassette every six months to keep
your video in perfect working order.
