Handling a Video Cassette

This section shows you how to insert a video cassette
into the VCR.

Inserting a Video Cassette

Cassette compartment
Insert the cassette into the cassette compartment by
slowly pressing its center with the arrow on the top.
When the cassette is inserted, the VCR automatically
turns on and the q indicator lights in the display
window.
If you insert the cassette without its safety tab for
recording, the VCR ejects the cassette automatically.

You can eject the cassette even when the power is off.
When you press EJECT Z, the VCR turns on
automatically.
After ejecting the cassette, the VCR turns off again.

Selecting the Tape

or 240-minute tape (E-180 or E-240). To ensure stable
operation and optimum picture quality, we recommend
that you use a Sony 180-minute tape for recording for
more than 40-hour recording mode.
