7.0 LOADING/UNLOADING/PROTECTING THE TAPE CASSETTE
You can load video cassette tapes into your VCR as long as it is plugged into a
power source. Loading a cassette automatically turns the VCR on even if its power
switch is turned off. Use only video cassette tapes marked VHS.
Use only standard grade VHS cassette tapes for reliable video recording. Do not
use Pro, Hi-Fi, and High Grade tapes—they may damage the video heads.
Do not use a T-160 tape when recording in 72H – 96H modes.
7.1 LOADING
1. To position the cassette properly before inserting it in the cassette slot, hold
the cassette so the long narrow edge with the contents label faces you. The
hinged narrow edge should face the VCR. The clear plastic window showing
the tape should face up.
2. Line up the cassette squarely with the cassette slot and gently push the video
tape in until the VCR pulls it in.
7.2 UNLOADING
1. Press the EJECT button on the front of the VCR.
2. Remove the cassette.
7.3 PREVENTING ACCIDENTAL ERASURE
Video cassettes come with an erasure prevention tab. When it is removed it stops
the tape’s contents from being erased or recorded over. The VCR will automatically
eject a cassette if you try to record over it with the erasure prevention tab removed.

NOTE:
The VCR’s protection cir-
cuit will eject the tape if it is loaded
improperly. If the VCR ejects the
tape you are trying to load, remove
it and check that the contents label
is facing you and the clear plastic
window showing the tape faces up.
Try again.
NOTE:
The VCR will eject a video
cassette even if it is in STANDBY
mode. When you press the EJECT
button, the VCR will automatically
turn on, eject the tape, and turn off.
You cannot eject a tape while record-
ing without first pressing the STOP
button, or while the VCR is locked.
NOTE:
We recommend taking any
torn or broken cassette tape requir-
ing repair only to professionals who
specialize in such procedures. The
adhesives on many common types
of tape could damage the head on
the VCR.
