Basic Operations 25
This section shows you how to insert a video cassette and to play it. For
more information on using the advanced features, see “Additional
Operations” on pages 36 through 57.
Inserting a video cassette
Gently insert a cassette with the arrow indication facing upwards. The
cassette is automatically loaded into the cassette compartment and the
Video/TV turns on. If you insert a cassette without a safety tab, playback
automatically starts.
Ejecting a video cassette
Press EJECT 6.
You can eject the cassette even if the power is in standby mode.
Protecting your cassette against
accidental erasure
The cassette has a safety tab to protect against accidentally erasing a
previous recording. Break off the safety tab with a screw driver or a
similar tool to prevent recording.
If the safety tab is removed, the cassette is ejected when you try to record
on it.
To record on a cassette with the safety tab broken off, simply cover the tab
hole with adhesive tape.
Resetting the tape counter
The tape counter helps you to locate a certain scene after playback. Press
COUNTER RESET on the remote control to set the counter to “00:00:00”
before playing the tape. The tape counter is automatically reset to
“00:00:00” whenever a cassette is inserted. The Video/TV keeps counting
the length of the tape being played. Note, however, that the tape counter
does not count the portions without video signals recorded.
