Preventing accidental erase
Tapes come with an erase prevention
tab which, when removed, prevents the
tape’s contents from being erased or
recorded over. If the tape you insert in
the VCR has the erase prevention tab
removed, your VCR will automatically
eject it if you attempt to record on it.
Note
We recommend that you take any broken or torn tapes to a
professional for repair. The adhesives on many common
types of tape could damage the head of your VCR.
Recommended number of tape use
It is recommended that the cassette tape be replaced with a
new one depending on the recording time mode and type of
tape used. Providing TAPE LENGTH of FIRST TIME SET UP
menu is set to the same type the tape you use.
