OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BASIC VCR OPERATION AND CONTROLS
Loading a
Tape
Tapes can be loaded into your VCR as long as the VCR is plugged in. Even when the VCR
POWER is OFF, loading a tape will automatically turn the VCR ON. Use only tapes that have
a VHS label.
1. Hold the tape so that the long narrow edge with the
contents label faces you. The other edge is hinged and
should face the VCR. The plastic window that shows the
videotape should face up.
2. Gently insert the tape evenly into the cassette slot
until the VCR automatically takes it in.
If the VCR will not automatically take the tape in,
press EJECT and try again.
Your VCR will eject the tape if it is loaded improperly.
If the VCR ejects the tape:
•
remove the tape
•
check to see that the contents label is facing you
•
check to see that the geared tape reels are facing
down
•
wait a few seconds and try again.
Unloading
a Tape
1. Press EJECT on the front panel. (If the VCR power is
OFF, the VCR will turn ON, eject the tape, and then turn
OFF again.)
2. Remove
the
tape.
Playing a
Tape
Press PLAY on the front panel of the VCR or the remote
control. The VCR will automatically play the tape at the
correct speed. When the VCR reaches the end of the tape, it
will automatically rewind to the beginning of the tape and stop.
You can stop playing by pressing STOP.
