VIDEO CASSETTE
This VCR will operate with any cassette that has the VHS mark. For best results, we recommend the use
of high-quality tapes. Do not use poor quality or damaged tapes.
PRECAUTIONS
• Avoid moisture, which can condense on the tape if it is moved from a cold place to a warm place.
Before using a tape with these conditions, to avoid damage to the tape and your VCR, wait until the tape
has warmed to room temperature and the moisture has evaporated.
• Avoid extreme heat, high humidity and magnetic fields.
• Do not tamper with the cassette mechanism.
• Do not touch the tape with your fingers.
THREE DIFFERENT TAPE SPEEDS
Before recording, select the tape speed from: SP mode (Standard Play), LP mode (Long Play) or SLP
mode (Super Long Play).
The table below shows the maximum recording/playback time using T60, T120, or T160 tapes in each
mode.
