Operation (when
recording on this unit)
You can make a copy of a tape
using this unit for recording or

TV programmes directly since it
does not have a TV tuner.

Insert a source tape with its safety tab removed into the other
(playback) VCR. Search for the point to start playback and set it to
playback pause.

time.

To save a recording
To prevent accidental erasure, break off the
safety tab as illustrated. To record on a tape
again, cover the tab hole with adhesive tape.
Auto head cleaner
The unit incorporates an auto head cleaner
which cleans the video heads when a tape is loaded or unloaded. When the
heads are not sufficiently clean, even after a tape has been loaded/unloaded
several times, use the Sony V-25CL video head cleaning cassette.
