VIDEO CASSETTE TAPE INFORMATION
This VCR will operate with any cassette that has the VHS mark. For best results, we recommend the use of
high-quality tapes. Do not use poor quality or damaged tapes.
PRECAUTIONS
• Avoid moisture. Moisture condensation may occur on the tape if it is moved from a cold place to a
warm place or vice versa. Before using a tape with these conditions, to avoid damage of the tape and
your VCR, wait until the tape has warmed to room temperature and the moisture has evaporated.
• Avoid extreme heat, high humidity and magnetic fields.
• Do not tamper with the cassette mechanism.
• Do not touch the tape with your fingers.

Before recording, select the tape speed from: SP mode (Standard Play) or SLP mode (Super Long
Play).

tape.
