Insert the cassette fully into the compartment by slowly
pressing its center with the arrow indication facing
upwards. If the AC power cord is connected to the wall
outlet, the power will be automatically turned on.
Recording in the SP or EP mode is possible with this
unit. When recording, select the desired recording mode
(SP or EP) with REC MODE on the Commander or the
unit. During playback, the unit automatically detects the
recording format, and then plays back the tape in the
appropriate mode. A tape recorded in the EP mode runs
three times as slowly as a tape recorded in the SP mode.
Refer to the chart below for the recording/playback time
available in each mode.

Playback of tapes recorded in LP mode is also possible
with this VCR. However, playback in modes other than
normal speed forward is not guaranteed. Note that
recording in LP mode is not possible. Also, note that the
AUTO TRACKING function will not function.
When a new recording is made on a previously recorded
cassette, the previous recording will be automatically
erased. To avoid unintentional erasure, break off the
safety tab on the cassette.
To re-record on the cassette, cover the slot where the
safety tab used to be with plastic tape.
