The easiest, most basic operation possible with your video recorder is tape playback. Already-recorded signals on a video tape are read by your video recorder and displayed on your TV just like a TV programme. Make sure the window side is up, the rear label side is facing you and the arrow on the front of the cassette is pointed toward the recorder. Don�t apply too much pressure when inserting.
