VHS Hi-Fi VCR
(160-0614)              Video Cassette Handling       Faxback Doc. # 38069


Inserting a Cassette

1.  Insert the cassette into the cassette compartment with the side label
    up and the spine label facing out.

    Caution:

    Never insert anything except a VHS video cassette into the cassette
    compartment.

2.  Push in gently on the center of the cassette spine until the VCR draws
    the cassette in completely.  The tape-in indicator (Symbol) lights
    steadily when the tape is in.

    If power is not already on, it turns on automatically when you insert
    a tape.

    Note:

    Occasionally the tape is wound too tightly.  This can cause the
    cassette to load improperly and eject automatically.  On most
    cassettes, you can loosen the tape by pressing the brake-release
    plunger located on the bottom-center of the cassette.  Use the tip of
    a pen or pencil to press the plunger.

Removing a Cassette

1.  Press [EJECT].  If the VCR power is off, it turns on temporarily while
    the cassette ejects.

2.  When the tape-in indicator (Symbol) goes off, remove the cassette from
    the compartment.

    Caution:

    Unless you are making an automatic timer recording, eject and store
    the cassette before turning off the VCR.

Cassette Storage

Store video cassettes in their protective boxes in a cool, dry, dust-free
environment.  Use video cassette racks that hold the cassettes on end, not
on their sides.  This prevents improper settling of the spool of tape.

Erase Protection Tab

Video cassettes have an erase protection feature to prevent accidental
erasure of a tape.  If the erase protection tab is missing, the VCR cannot
record on the tape.  The tape is ejected if you try to record on it.

If you want to record on a tape that does not have the tab, put a piece of
heavy plastic tape over the tab hole.
