VCR BASICS

Automatic Rewind

The VCR automatically rewinds the tape if it reaches the end of
the tape during playback. While rewinding, you can press
POWER and the VCR will turn off after rewinding.

Tape Eject

Press EJECT on the VCR when it is stopped to eject the tape.

Recording

If you want to record something that you're watching, you can
use basic recording.
1. Press the SPEED button on the remote if you want to
override the preferred Tape Speed setting.
2. Press the RECORD button to begin recording.
3. Press STOP to stop recording.
If you just want to pause the recording for a short time
(like during a commercial), press PAUSE instead of STOP.

Check the Safety Tab

No matter which recording option you use, you need to make
sure there is a tape in the VCR, and that the tape's safety tab is in
place. You cannot record on a tape with the safety tab removed.
Safety Tab
If the safety tab is removed and you want to record over it,
simply cover the hole with vinyl tape.
