VIDEO CASSETTE TAPES

Use only video cassette tapes bearing the w logo. This

VCR was primarily designed for use with T-120 or T-160

cassette tapes, it is recommended to use T-120 or T-160

standard grade VHS video cassette tapes for optimal

performance.

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

Gently push the center of the cassette until it is

loaded automatically.

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.

ø The time display will switch to the reset counter

“0:00:00” display.

Protect the cassette tapes from shocks or strong

vibrations.

ø 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 “o” will blink during that

period.

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.

ø When the cassette is loaded, if the tape has

been threaded correctly, the cassette indicator

“o” will light on the digital display.

To record again on a tape without erasure-prevention tab,

cover the hole with adhesive tape.

NOTE:

œ 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.

ø The cassette is automatically ejected.

that may cause injury and damages to the VCR.

œ 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.

œ Some rewinders may entangle the tape, and therefore

their use is not recommended.

œ 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 14, and replace the tape with a new tape as

required.

MAINTENANCE

Daily Inspection

Periodic Inspection

The following daily inspections are recommended in order

to assure long-term and trouble-free operation of the unit.

Periodic inspection and maintenance should be referred

to your dealer.

The daily inspections are particularly important if using

autorepeat recording.

If there is noise in the playback picture, and it cannot be

corrected using the tracking control, it may indicated that

the video heads need cleaning.

The video heads should be inspected every 1,000 hours

of use to determine if they need to be replaced.
