Loading a Tape
Tapes can be loaded into your VCR as long as the VCR is plugged in. Even when
the VCR POWER is off, loading a tape will automatically turn the VCR on. Use
only tapes that have a , or label.
1 Hold the tape so that the long narrow edge with the contents label faces you.
The other edge is hinged and should face the VCR. The plastic window that
shows the videotape should face up.
2 Gently insert the tape evenly into the cassette slot until the VCR automatically
takes it in.
If the VCR will not automatically take the tape in, press EJECT and try again.
Your VCR will eject the tape if it is loaded improperly. If the VCR ejects the tape,
remove the tape, check to see that the contents label is facing you, that the geared
tape reels are facing down, wait a few seconds, and try again.
