VIDEO CASETTE TAPE
58
When handling video tapes, follow the precautions below:
 Avoid moisture, which can condense on the tape if it is moved from a cold place to a
warm place. Playing a tape that has moisture in it will damage the tape and your VCR.
Before using a tape with these conditions, 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.
ERASE PREVENTION
You may prevent accidental erasing of a tape 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
tape.
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, and cassette indicator will light when the cassette is
properly inserted.
