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. Moisture condensation may occur 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.

1) In the Stop mode, press STOP/EJECT button on the TV/VCR. The cassette will eject.

2) Pull the cassette out of the cassette compartment.

3) Store the cassette in the case as shown.

You can prevent accidental erasing of recording by breaking off the tab on the back edge of

the cassette. If you decide to record on the tape again, cover the hole with

plastic
