Before playing a tape, make sure the VCP and TV are connected
(see pages six-11). Then, follow the steps below.
1
Turn on the TV. Set it to the same channel as the CH3/CH4
switch on the back of the VCP.
2
Insert a tape in the VCP. The power will come on and play-
back will start automatically. The POWER light and the Play light
will appear on the display panel of the VCP.
3
If the tape you want to play is already in the VCP, make sure the
VCP power is on, then press the PLAY button.
4
To stop playback, press the STOP button.
5
Press the REW(ind)/SEARCH button.
6
Press the EJECT button to eject the tape.
16 Playing
• Other playback options and features
are explained on pages 17-19
• Moisture may condense inside the
unit when it is moved from a cold
place to a warm place, after heating
a cold room, or when the humidity is
high. When moisture has accumulat-
ed in your VCP, the POWER light will
blink. If you try to play a tape in a
VCP in which moisture has accumu-
lated, the tape and the VCP could be
damaged. If the POWER light is blink-
ing, keep the VCP power on (but do
not play a tape) for at least two
hours. When the POWER light stops
blinking, it is safe to play a tape.
