VCR BASICS

This section of the guide will explain
the many functions of the VCR
portion of your new TV/VCR Combo.
We will begin with a basic explana-
tion of how to load, view and eject a
video cassette.
LOAD A VIDEOCASSETTE

cassette is facing up, and the rear
label of the video cassette is facing
you. Insert the cassette into the slot
below the television screen by
pressing on the rear of the cassette.
Do not use too much pressure when
inserting. If the tab at the rear of the
cassette has been removed,
playback of the tape will begin
automatically:

your hand inside the video
cassette slot of the VCR or your

special care to prevent children
from inserting their hands into
the VCR.
