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, which can condense 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.

The VCR will automatically turn on.  
 
REMOVING A CASSETTE 
1) In the Stop mode, press STOP/EJECT button on the TV/VCR. The
