Setting Up the VTR

Removing slack in the tape

When a cassette is loaded, an orange lock-out bar
appears in the cassette insertion slot to prevent users
from attempting to load another cassette.

Press the EJECT button.
The tape is unthreaded and the cassette is
automatically ejected.  This operation takes a few
seconds.

Press any operation button before the cassette is
completely ejected.  The cassette is loaded again and
the operation corresponding to the button you pressed
starts.

To prevent accidental erasure of material recorded on a
tape, push in the record-protect plug.

start, even if you press the REC button.
To restore the tape for recording, return the plug to its
original position.
