Basic Recording Steps
1. Load the videocassette into the VCR. The power comes on automatically when the
tape is fully inserted
2. Turn on the TV and select the video channel (3 or 4). Or, if you are hooked up with a
direct audio/video cable, set the TV to AUX or VIDEO.
When a tape is inserted, the Tape Navigation function may operate and the following
screen may appear after the MENU button indicator on the VCR flashes. Ignore this
screen when you are using a T-120 tape for recording. This screen may disappear after
about 10 seconds. See "Storing tape data in memory" on page 58 when recording on a
T-140, T-160 or T-180 tape.
When MENU is flashing, recording cannot be made even if REC is pressed.
