VIDEO CASSETTE TAPES

Use only video cassette tapes bearing the w logo. This VCR was primarily designed for use with T-160 cassette tapes, it is recommended to use T-160 standard grade VHS video cassette tapes for optimal performance.

Handling Cassette Tapes

The cassette tapes should always be stored vertically, in their cases, away from high temperatures, magnetic fields, direct sunlight, dirt, dust and locations subject to mold formation.

Do not tamper with the cassette mechanism and never touch the tape with your fingers.

Protect the cassette tapes from shocks or strong vibrations.

To Protect your Recordings

After having recorded a tape, if you wish to keep the recording, use a flathead screwdriver to break off the erasure-prevention tab on the cassette.

To record again on a tape without erasure-prevention tab, cover the hole with adhesive tape.

1 Place the cassette, label side up, in the loading slot.

Gently push the center of the cassette until it is loaded automatically.

The time display will switch to the reset counter

“0:00:00” display. After the cassette tape is loaded, a mechanism

will operate for about 5 seconds to check that the tape has been threaded correctly and the cassette indicator period.

When the cassette is loaded, if the tape has

been threaded correctly, the cassette indicator

“o”

will light on the digital display.

“o”

will blink during that

Erasure-prevention tab

Precautions concerning the video cassette tapes

Do not use tapes that are damaged, tapes that have

•

been cut and repaired or tapes that have been altered in any way.

Some rewinders may entangle the tape, and therefore

•

their use is not recommended. When tapes are recorded over and over again, the

•

recording quality will deteriorate. Refer to “Concerning the Number of Times Tapes can be Rerecorded on” on page 12, and replace the tape with a new tape as required.

NOTE:

If you try to record on a cassette without

•

erasure-prevention tab, the VCR will eject the cassette.

Unloading

1 In STOP mode, press the EJECT button.

The cassette is automatically ejected.

NOTES:

Do not insert any object in the cassette loading slot, as

•

that may cause injury and damages to the VCR. If your hand gets stuck in the cassette loading slot,

•

unplug the power cord and consult the dealer where the unit was bought. Do not forcibly pull the hand out as that may cause severe injuries.

English

VIDEO CASSETTE TAPES

Correct tape thread check function

If the correct tape thread check function is on, after the cassette tape is loaded, a mechanism will operate for about 5 seconds to check that the tape has been threaded (loaded) correctly and the cassette indicator “o” will blink during that period.

If the tape is not loaded properly, the cassette will be ejected. If in the (SET UP 3) menu, in the BUZZER section WARNING is set to “Y”, the buzzer will be heard. To stop the buzzer, press the STOP button.

•

been correctly loaded. It is recommended to use this function to make sure the recordings are conducted reliably.

If during the tape thread check operation, the REC,

•
