4. PLAYING A RECORDED CASSETTE
In chapter 2, you have learned how to connect the
video recorder to the TV set. When this is done, play-
back of a cassette is very easy.
If you wish to record first, go to chapter 5.

Switch the video recorder and the TV set on.
When starting play on the video recorder, many TV
sets
switch automatically
to the programme posi-
tion prepared for video playback.
With the "Easy Link" function, your TV set is even
automatically switched on from standby.
But this will only function if the video recorder is
connected via a Scart cable to the TV.
Otherwise, select the programme position
intended for video playback on the TV set.
