BASIC OPERATIONS
Playback
The easiest, most basic operation possible with your video
recorder is tape playback. Already-recorded signals on a video
tape are read by your video recorder and displayed on your TV
just like a TV programme.
● This recorder can play back tapes that have been recorded in
D-VHS (MTP), S-VHS and VHS formats.
● When playing back a tape, this recorder automatically
identifies the recording format (D-VHS, S-VHS, or VHS).
LOAD A CASSETTE
1
Make sure the window side is up, the rear label side is
facing you and the arrow on the front of the cassette is
pointing towards the recorder. Don’t apply too much
pressure when inserting.
● The recorder power comes on automatically and the
counter is reset to 0:00:00.
● While "– – – –" is blinking on the front display panel,
the tape will run for a few seconds to search for the
tape number.
● If the record safety tab has been removed, playback
begins automatically.

NOTE:
Compact VHS camcorder recordings can be played on this
video recorder. Simply place the recorded cassette into a
VHS Cassette Adapter and it can be used just like any full-
sized VHS cassette.
Tape Position Indicator
The tape position indicator
appears on screen when,
from the Stop mode, you
press FF, REW or perform an
Index Search. The position of
“5” in relation to “0”
(beginning) or “+” (end)
shows you where you are on
the tape.
”O.S.D.” (੬ pg. 53) must
be set to “ON”, or the
indicator will not appear.
NOTE:
Depending on the type of tape used, there may be times
when the indication is not correct.
