Loading and Ejecting
When you load a videocassette into the VCR, there is only one right way! Most tapes show you
the way with a little arrow on the top side which should go in first.
Push the videocassette gently into the slot on the front of the VCR. You will feel the VCR take it
in.
When the cassette is all the way in, the VCR powers up automatically and a TAPE-IN indicator
shows on the LCD display. It may also start playing immediately if the safety tab has been
removed.
To remove the cassette, simply press the STOP/EJECT button on the VCR. (If the tape is
playing, press STOP/EJECT on the VCR once to stop the tape and a second time to eject it.
Now you can take the cassette out and put it away.
Tape Storage
Store your videocassettes in their jackets and in an upright position (like books in a bookshelf)
away from any magnetic sources. Resist the temptation to leave them lying flat on top of the
VCR. Tapes will last longer - and so will your VCR - if you store them properly. Remember,
dust, dirt, and liquids are enemies of your tapes and VCR.
To avoid aggravation later, apply the labels that come with new tape. On them, write notes to
yourself about what you recorded.
