Hitachi VT-UX617A - Manual (Page 14)

About the illuminated buttons:
• If a button on the remote control is pressed, one of the VCR, CAM and TV buttons lights so that you know
which device you are now operating.
CASSETTE TAPES
Types
Only use video cassettes with the mark in this VCR.
The table shows the recording time of different cassettes.
• To get the best quality picture, record at standard recording speed (SP).
• This VCR does not record at the LP speed, but it can play cassette that were recorded at the LP speed.
Safety tabs prevent erasure
The VCR automatically enters the playback mode when a cassette without its safety tab is inserted. The VCR
won't record on a tape without a safety tab and the cassette will be ejected if the REC or REC/IRT button
is pressed. Be sure to check the safety tab before inserting a cassette.
Insertion
Push the video cassette gently into the slot on the front of the VCR.
• The VCR automatically turns on and the "Tape-In" indicator turns on when the cassette is in place.
