VIDEO CASSETTE

This TV/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.

• Avoid moisture, which can condense on the tape if it is moved from a cold

place to a warm place. Before using a tape with these conditions, to avoid

damage to the tape and your TV/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), LP

mode (Long Play) or SLP mode (Super Long Play).

The table below shows the maximum recording/playback time using T60,

T120, or T160 tapes in each mode.

Insert the cassette in the direction as shown. Push in gently, but

continuously, on the center-back of the cassette until it is drawn into the VCR.

The VCR will automatically turn on.
