ZGetting Started (Video Tapes)
When you load a videocassette
into the VCR, there is only one right way! Most
tapes show you the way with a little arrow on the top side which should go in first.
Push the videocassette
gently into the slot on the front of the VCR.
You will feel
the VCR take it in.
When the cassette
is all the way in, the VCR powers up automatically
and a
TAPE-IN
indicator shows on the display.
It may also start playing immediately
if
the safety tab has been removed.
To remove the cassette,
simply press the STOP/EJECT
button on the VCR.
(If
the tape is playing, press STOP/EJECT
once to stop the tape and a second time
to eject it.)
Now you can take the cassette
out and put it away.
Tape Storage
Store your videocassettes
in their jackets and in an upright position
(like books in
a bookshelf)
away from any magnetic
sources.
Resist the temptation
to leave
them lying flat on top of the VCR.
Tapes will last longer - and so will your VCR -
if you store them properly.
Remember,
dust, dirt and liquids are enemies
of your
tapes and VCR.
To avoid aggravation
later, apply the labels that come with new tapes.
On them,
write notes to yourself
about what you recorded.
