Concerning video tapes

J To avoid erasing one of your tapes by accident, we recommend that you to protect them by breaking

the security tab. To reuse a protected tape, just stick a piece of adhesive tape on this place.

Tapes are sensitive to utilisation and storage conditions. Keep them away from dust, humidity or

excessive heat. Do not place them next to appliances producing strong magnetic or electrical fields

(electro-magnet, motor, etc.). Tapes may vary in quality. The difference in quality not only concerns

the tape itself but also the different mechanical elements of the video cassette. A poor quality tape

can damage your video recorder. You should therefore use quality brand tapes.

The functions explained on this page enable you to lock

the video recorder, play or record continuously.
