Handling a Video Cassette

This section shows you how to insert a video cassette
into the VCR.

Inserting a Video Cassette

Cassette compartment
Insert the cassette into the cassette compartment by
slowly pressing its center with the arrow on the top.
When the cassette is inserted, the VCR automatically
turns on and the q indicator lights in the display
window.
If you insert the cassette without its safety tab for
recording, the VCR ejects the cassette automatically.

Ejecting a Video Cassette

To eject the cassette, press EJECT Z on the VCR.
You can eject the cassette even when the power is off.
When you press EJECT Z, the VCR turns on
automatically.
After ejecting the cassette, the VCR turns off again.
Protecting Your Cassette from
Being Erased
Remove the tab on the cassette with a screwdriver or a
similar tool as shown below. This protects your
cassette against an accidental recording.
If you want to record again on the cassette without its
safety tab, simply cover the safety tab hole with a
piece of plastic tape.
