Videocassette Tapes

Always insert the videocassette window-side up

with the arrow on the case pointing toward the

VCR.

Use only videocassette tapes marked

European-standard PAL VHS videocassette tapes

and S-VHS prerecorded videocassette tapes are

not compatible.

To prevent accidentally recording over previous-

ly recorded material, remove the Record Protect

Safety Tab on the videocassette case after

recording.

ABOUT VIDEOCASSETTES

In general, high-quality, brand name

videocassettes last longer and provide a

better picture.

Rewind your cassettes all the way so that

the tape is not at a midpoint; this can

extend the tape life.

Do not touch or splice the tape; this can

damage the tape and playing such a tape

can damage the VCR.

Do not take apart any cassette you plan to

use again.

To record a tape that has the Record Protect

Safety Tab removed, place a piece of cellophane

tape over the space from which the tab was

removed.

depends on Tape Speed (SP or SLP) and Cassette

Type (T60 = 60 minutes at SP or 180 minutes at SLP;

T120 = 120 minutes at SP or 360 minutes at SLP).
