Do not use an E-240 or SE-240 tape when recording in 48H - 960H or 0H modes.

The recording mode of this VCR indicates the recording time with E-180 or SE-180 cassette.  The recording times with E-180,
SE-180, E-240 and SE-240 cassette are as follows :

RECORDING CHECK FUNCTION

When the VCR is recording, press the PLAY button for more than 1.5 seconds and then release.  The tape will be rewound a little and
then playback the recording just made.  When the tape reaches the position where the PLAY button was pressed, the VCR returns to
record mode.

AUDIO RECORDING

Either apply the specified line input signal to the AUDIO IN connector or connect the microphone to the MIC IN jack.  If both are
connected, the microphone is given priority.

N

Normal sound is played back only when a tape recorded in 3H, L12H and L24H mode is played back in their respective mode.

The longer the recording time mode, the worse the sound quality becomes.  In L12H and L24H mode, the sound quality is of the
degree that speech can be heard.

LOCK MODE

When the lock button is pressed with a ballpoint pen or a pencil, the control buttons will not operate and the VCR is kept in the current
mode.  To release the lock mode, press the lock button again.
