Operation (when
recording on this unit)

TV programmes directly since it
does not have a TV tuner.

playback pause.

To save a recording
To prevent accidental erasure, break off the
safety tab as illustrated. To record on a tape
again, cover the tab hole with adhesive tape.
Auto head cleaner
The unit incorporates an auto head cleaner
which cleans the video heads when a tape is loaded or unloaded. When the
heads are not sufficiently clean, even after a tape has been loaded/unloaded
several times, use the Sony V-25CL video head cleaning cassette.

• To edit more precisely, press the P PAUSE buttons on the units to release pause.
• To cut out unwanted scenes while editing, press P PAUSE on this unit when an
unwanted scene begins. When that scene ends, press P PAUSE again to resume
recording.
