Video Cassettes Tapes

logo.
This VCR was primarily designed for use with cassette tapes. It
is recommended to use VHS video cassette tapes for optimal
performance.
Handling Cassette Tapes
Cassette tapes should always be stored vertically in their cases,
away from high temperature, magnetic fields, direct sunlight,
dirt, dust and locations subject to mold formation.
Do not tamper with the cassette mechanism.
Never touch the tape with your fingers.
Protect cassette tapes from shocks or strong vibrations.
To protect your recordings
After having recorded a tape, if you wish to keep the recording,
use a flat head screwdriver to break off the erasure-prevention
tab on the cassette.
To record again on a tape without erasure-prevention tab, cover
the hole with adhesive tape.
o
If you try to record on a cassette
without the erasure prevention tab,
the VCR will eject the cassette
o
If the TIMER button is pressed
when a cassette without the erasure
prevention tab is loaded, the VCR will
eject the cassette, the timer recording
indicator (
) will start flashing if
“YES” is set in the menu for buzzer.
o
When the cassette is loaded, the
cassette indicator
will light on the
display panel.
o
The counter display will switch to
the reset counter “0H 00M 00S”
display on the monitor screen (“0H
00M” on the display panel.)
Erasure prevention tab
To prevent accidental erasure, remove the tab after recording.
To record again, cover the hole with vinyl tape.
