This VCR was primarily designed for use with E-180

240 VHS video cassette tapes for optimal performance.
Handling Cassette Tapes
Cassette tapes should always be stored vertically in their
cases, away from high temperatures, magnetic fields,
direct sunlight, dirt, dust and locations subject to mold
formation.
Do not tamper with the cassette mechanism.
Never touch the tape with your fingers.
Protect cassette tapes from shocks or strong vibrations.
To Protect your recordings
After having recorded a tape, if you wish to keep the
recording, use a flathead screwdriver to break off the
erasure-prevention tab on the cassette.
To record again on a tape without erasure-prevention tab,
cover the hole with adhesive tape.
Erasure-prevention tab
To prevent accidental erasure, remove the
tab after recording.
To record again, cover the hole with vinyl
tape.
