VIDEO CASSETTE

This VCR will operate with any cassette that has the VHS mark. For best results,

recommend the use of high-quality tapes. Do not use poor quality or damaged tapes.

• Avoid moisture, which can condense on the tape if it is moved from a cold place to a warm

place. Before using a tape with these conditions, to avoid damage to the tape and your VCR,

wait until the tape has warmed to room temperature and the moisture has evaporated.

• Avoid extreme heat, high humidity and magnetic fields.

• Do not tamper with the cassette mechanism.

• Do not touch the tape with your fingers.

Before recording, select the tape speed from: SP mode (Standard Play), LP mode (Long Play)

or SLP mode (Super Long Play).
