The counter counts in real time from when you load the cassette. This does not have to be at the beginning
of the cassette. The counter does not count unrecorded parts of the cassette.
If you rewind the cassette, the counter will count backwards, if you rewind beyond the zero position, the
counter counts in negative values for example, – 0:01:15.

Cassettes
Use only good-quality cassettes with the VHS logo.
• Keep cassettes away from moisture or dust, magnetic and
electrical fields (for example, loudspeakers and computer
monitors).
• Always rewind cassettes to the beginning when you have finished
using them. Stand cassettes up with the full spool at the bottom.
PAL
Always keep cassettes in their cases.
You can protect your precious recordings from being recorded over by
breaking off the safety tab on the side of the cassette (some
cassettes have a slide). When you have removed the tab your video
will eject the cassette if ever you try to record onto it.
If you want to record onto the cassette after removing the tab, cover
the hole with sticky tape.
We advise you to use a head - cleaning cassette every six months to
keep your video in perfect working order.
