Getting Started (Video Tapes) 

 

27

When you load a videocassette into the VCR, there is only one right way! Most 
tapes show you the way with a little arrow on the top side which should go in first. 

 

Push the videocassette gently into the slot on the front of the VCR.  You will feel 
the VCR take it in. 
When the cassette is all the way in, the VCR powers up automatically and a 
TAPE-IN indicator shows on the display.  It may also start playing immediately if 
the safety tab has been removed. 
To remove the cassette, simply press the STOP/EJECT button on the VCR.  (If 
the tape is playing, press STOP/EJECT once to stop the tape and a second time 
to eject it.) 
Now you can take the cassette out and put it away. 

Store your videocassettes in their jackets and in an upright position (like books in 
a bookshelf) away from any magnetic sources.  Resist the temptation to leave 
them lying flat on top of the VCR.  Tapes will last longer - and so will your VCR - 
if you store them properly.  Remember, dust, dirt and liquids are enemies of your 
tapes and VCR. 
To avoid aggravation later, apply the labels that come with new tapes.  On them, 
write notes to yourself about what you recorded.
