facing away from the VCR. Insert the cassette as shown in the diagram below;
don’t use too much force. If the VCR was turned off before you inserted the
cassette, the power will come on automatically.
The counter on the TV screen will reset to read
‘
0:00:00 ’. If the record safety tab on the video
cassette has been removed, playback begins
automatically.
