Video Cassette Tape
This VCR will operate with any cassette that bears the VHS
mark. For best results, we recommend the use of high-quali-
ty tapes. Do not use poor quality or damaged tapes.
• You can prevent accidental erasing
of a recording by breaking off the
erase prevention tab on the back
edge of the cassette.
• If you decide to record on the tape
again, cover the hole with plastic
tape.
Two Different Tape Speeds
Before recording, select the tape speed : SP mode
(Standard Play) or LP mode (Long Play).
The table below shows the maximum recording/playback
time using E-60, E-120, E-180 or E-240 tapes in each

TV Colour System
Different countries use different television colour systems.
Tapes recorded in the PAL or NTSC system can be played
back on this unit. Usually, the picture on the TV screen will
be in black and white when you play back a tape that is
recorded in a different colour system.
• Tapes recorded in the NTSC system can be played back
on this unit and a PAL system TV set. This feature is only
available in the SP mode. When playing back such tapes,
the picture may roll up or down, shrink vertically and black
bars may appear both at the top and bottom of the screen.
Adjust the vertical hold control on your TV, if the TV fea-
tures this control.
