First Recording and Piayback
First Recording and Playback
This page gives the basic steps for recording and play­
back. You should practice them until you can do them
without referring to the manual. To save time, we suggest
you record for only two or three minutes. The first drawing shows how to make a recording and the
second one shows how to play it back and turn off the
VCR. The operating notes at the bottom of the page are
keyed to the step numbers for quick reference if you have
a problem or need more information.
