Playback
This section shows you how to play back a video cassette.
Inserting a Video Cassette
1 Insert a video cassette as shown below.
2 Gently press the center of the front side of the
cassette until the mechanism draws it into the
compartment.
When the cassette has been loaded, the cassette
indicator (['3~Dl) lights up in the display window and the
VCR turns on automatically.
NOTE:
If you insert a cassette without a safety tab, playback
starts automatically (auto playback function).
Ejecting the cassette
Press ± EJECT on the VCR.
You can eject the cassette when the power is off.
When you press ^ EJECT, the power is turned on. After
ejecting the cassette, the power automatically shuts off.
Protecting your cassettes against accidental erasure
Cassettes have a safety tab to protect against accidental
recording. Break off the safety tab with a screwdriver or
other tool. If the safety tab is removed, the cassette will be
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.
Adhesive tape
Maximum recording time of a cassette
Recording in either the SP or EP mode is possible with this
VCR. When recording, select the desired recording speed
(SP or EP) using TAPE SPEED on the Remote Commander.
During playback, the VCR automatically detects the
recording format, and then plays back the cassette in the
appropriate mode. A cassette recorded in the EP mode runs
three times as slowly as a cassette recorded in the SP mode.
Refer to the chart below for the recording/playback times
available.
