VCR BASICS

RECORDING

If you want to record something that you're watching, you can

use basic recording. For more detailed information, refer to the

"Recording" section starting on the next page.

1. Set the tape speed by pressing TAPE SPEED on the VCR

(SPEED on the remote).

2. Press the RECORD button to begin recording.

3. Press STOP to stop recording.

If you just want to pause the recording for a short time

(such as during a commercial), press PAUSE instead of STOP.

• For more information about in-depth recording features,

refer to the next section.

CHECK THE SAFETY TAB

No matter which recording option you use, you need to make

sure there is a tape in the VCR, and that the tape's safety tab is in

place. You cannot record on a tape with the safety tab removed.

If the safety tab is removed and you want to record over it,

simply cover the hole with vinyl tape.
