Protecting a Recorded Cassette
Recording a Programme Immediately
Video cassettes have a safety tab to prevent accidental erasure.
When this tab has been removed, you cannot record on the tape.

If you wish to protect a cassette, break off the tab using a small
screwdriver.

To re-record over a protected cassette (safety tab broken), cover
the hole with adhesive tape.
Before recording a programme, you must have preset the corres-
ponding station (unless you are recording via an external video
source). If you have not done so, refer to pages 21 and 22.
