Before Using Your VCR 5
Putting Batteries in the Remote Control
●
In this VCR, use only tapes with the mark.
●
Make sure any light adhesive stick-on notes are removed from
the video cassette tape before putting the tape in the VCR.
Removable labels like these can jam the VCR.
●
Periodic maintenance is required to maintain your VCR’s per-
formance. The video heads will eventually require cleaning or
replacement. Cleaning or replacement of the video heads
should be performed by an authorized service center.
1
Remove the battery compartment lid on the bottom of the
remote control by sliding the lid in the direction of the arrow.
2
Insert two AA batteries inside the battery compartment with
their + and – ends aligned as indicated.
3
Replace the battery compartment lid.
Using the Remote Control
●
Point the remote control at the VCR’s remote sensor (see page
21) when using the remote control to operate the VCR.
●
Do not put objects between the remote control and the VCR.
Video cassette tapes have record tabs to ensure that recordings
are not erased accidentally.
1
To prevent accidental erasure, break off the tab with a screwdriv-
er.
2
To record again, cover the hole with cellophane tape.
