Protecting a Recorded Cassette

Video cassettes have a safety tab to prevent accidental erasure.
When this tab has been removed, you cannot record on the tape.

If you wish to protect a cassette, break off the tab using a small
screwdriver.

To re-record over a protected cassette (safety tab broken), cover the
opening with adhesive tape.
When you insert a video cassette in the COMBI VISION,
playback starts automatically if the safety tab is broken
(protected cassette); otherwise you must press PLAY (
If you try to record on a protected cassette (safety tab
broken), the cassette is ejected.
