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 excel-
lent performance. This VCR has an Automatic Head Cleaner.
However, the video heads will require replacement eventually.
Only an authorized service center should perform this service.

Remove the battery compartment lid on the bottom of the
remote control by sliding the lid in the direction of the arrow.

Insert two AA batteries inside the battery compartment with
their

Using the Remote Control
● Point the remote control at the VCR’s remote sensor (see page

Video cassette tapes have record tabs to ensure that recordings
are not erased accidentally.
