* These buttons do not function for this VCR.

To insert the batteries:

Install two R6 batteries matching the polarity indicated inside 
the battery compartment.

Caution

Do not mix old and new batteries. (Also never mix alkaline 
batteries with manganese batteries.)

Video Cassette Tape

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

You can prevent accidental erasing of a recording by breaking 
off the erase-prevention tab on the back edge of the cassette. If 
you decide to record on the tape again, cover the hole with 
plastic tape.

Two Different Tape Speeds

Before recording, select the tape speed : SP mode (Standard 
Play) or LP mode (Long Play). The table below shows the 
maximum recording/playback time using E-60, E-120, E-180 
or E-240 tapes in each mode.

TV Colour System

Different countries use different television colour systems. 
Tapes recorded in the PAL or NTSC system can be played 
back on this unit. Usually, the picture on the TV screen will 
be in black and white when you play back a tape that is 
recorded in a different colour system.

Tapes recorded in the NTSC system can be played back on 
this unit and a PAL system TV set. This feature is only 
available in the SP mode. When playing back such tapes, the 
picture may roll up or down, shrink vertically and black bars 
may appear both at the top and bottom of the screen. Adjust 
the vertical hold control on your TV, if the TV features this 
control.
