CASSETTE 
   
 
 
    
This TV/VCR will operate with any cassette that has the VHS mark.  For best results we 
recommend the use of high-quality tapes. Do not use poor quality or damaged tapes. 
PRECAUTIONS 
• Avoid moisture. Moisture condensation may occur on the tape if it is moved from a cold 
place to a warm place.  Before using a tape with these conditions, to avoid damage to the tape 
and your TV/VCR, wait until the tape has warmed to room temperature and the moisture has 
evaporated. 
• Avoid extreme heat, high humidity and magnetic fields. 
• Do not tamper with the cassette mechanism. 
• Do not touch the tape with your fingers. 
THREE DIFFERENT TAPE SPEEDS 
Before recording, select the tape speed from: SP mode (Standard Play), LP mode (Long Play) 
or SLP mode (Super Long Play). 
The table below shows the maximum recording/playback time using T60, T120, or T160 
tapes in each mode. 
 
INSERTING A CASSETTE 
Insert the cassette in the direction as shown.  Push in gently, but continuously, on the center-
back of the cassette until it is drawn into the VCR. 
The VCR will automatically turn on.  
 
REMOVING A CASSETTE 
1) In the Stop mode, press STOP/EJECT button on the TV/VCR. The cassette will eject. 
2) Pull the cassette out of the cassette compartment. 
3) Store the cassette in the case as shown. 
 
ERASE PREVENTION 
You can prevent accidental erasing of recording by breaking off the tab on the back edge of 
the cassette.  If you decide to record on the tape again, cover the hole with
 plastic
