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.
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.
FIND PROGRAMME START POINT

If the tape is advanced past the start point, press REW
or turn the SHUTTLE ring to the left. To go forward,
press FF or turn the SHUTTLE ring to the right.

display panel during automatic tracking (੬ pg. 38).

be as high as SP recordings.
STOP PLAYBACK

recorder’s front panel. Then press STOP/EJECT to

Usable cassettes
● 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.
● This video recorder can record on regular VHS and
Super VHS cassettes. While only VHS signals can be
recorded on regular VHS cassettes*, both VHS and
Super VHS signals can be recorded and played back
using Super VHS cassettes.
* By using the S-VHS ET function, it is possible to record
and play back with S-VHS picture quality on VHS
cassettes with this recorder.
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. 55) 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.
