Inserting and Ejecting a Video Cassette
Tape
To Insert a Video Cassette Tape
1
Hold the video cassette tape window-side up with the arrow pointing away from you.
2
Gently push the tape through the compartment door until you feel the VCR pull it.
The VCR loads the tape automatically.
- Don’t try to insert a tape upside down or backwards.
- Use only video tapes labeled “VHS.”
European PAL VHS video tapes and
S-VHS pre-recorded tapes aren’t compatible with this unit. Choose brand name, high quality tapes for best results.
- If the safety tab of your video tape has been removed, the tape begins to play automatically. You don’t have to press PLAY. For more information on the safety tab, see page 75.
To Eject a Video Cassette Tape
1
Press the (Stop) button to stop playing the tape.
When you’re finished playing a prerecorded video tape, it’s best to rewind it to the beginning and remove it from the
VCR to protect it from wear and tear.
2
Press the EJECT button on the front panel to eject the tape.
After ejecting a tape, you should remove it completely from the compartment and turn off the VCR.
