Do not tamper with the cassette mechanism and never  
touch the tape with your fingers.  
ø The time display will switch to the reset counter  
“0:00:00” display.  
Protect the cassette tapes from shocks or strong  
vibrations.  
ø After the cassette tape is loaded, a mechanism  
will operate for about 5 seconds to check that  
the tape has been threaded correctly and the  
cassette indicator owill blink during that  
period.  
To Protect your Recordings  
After having recorded a tape, if you wish to keep the  
recording, use a flathead screwdriver to break off the  
erasure-prevention tab on the cassette.  
ø When the cassette is loaded, if the tape has  
been threaded correctly, the cassette indicator

to assure long-term and trouble-free operation of the unit.  
Periodic inspection and maintenance should be referred  
to your dealer.  
The daily inspections are particularly important if using  
autorepeat recording.  
If there is noise in the playback picture, and it cannot be  
corrected using the tracking control, it may indicated that  
the video heads need cleaning.  
The video heads should be inspected every 1,000 hours  
of use to determine if they need to be replaced.  
Inspection Procedure  
1 Turn on the power to the VCR, camera, TV monitor  
The video heads usage can be checked using the (USED  
TIME) menu.
