Handling a Video Cassette

This section shows you how to handle a video cassette.

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 indicator lights in the display
window.
If you insert the cassette without its safety tab for
recording, the VCR ejects the cassette automatically.

Ejecting a Video Cassette

Press EJECT 6 on the VCR.
You can eject the cassette even when the power is off.
When you press EJECT 6, the VCR turns on
automatically.
After ejecting the cassette, the VCR turns off again.
Recommended cassette
This VCR is designed and calibrated with 120-mimute
or 160-minute tape (T-120 or T-160). To ensure stable
operation and optimum picture quality, we recommend
that you use a Sony 120-minute tape for recording for
more than 40-hour recording mode.
To select the tape
Set the TAPE switch on the front to T-120 or T-160
depending on the tape to be used.
Protecting Your Cassette from
Being Erased
Remove the tab on the cassette with a screwdriver or a
similar tool as shown below. This protects your
cassette against an accidental recording.
If you want to record again on the cassette without its
safety tab, simply cover the safety tab hole with a
piece of plastic tape.
