INSERTING/EJECTING A TAPE
Inserting a Tape
1. Turn VCR on. Press the On/Off button located on the VCR to power it on.
2. Insert most of the tape into the VCR slot. Point the head (the side with the flap) of the VHS cassette toward the VCR (If the cassette is upwards, the flap can be lifted up) Gently holding each side, push the VHS into the VCR slot until only about an inch of the tape is sticking out.
3. Wait for the VCR to accept the VHS tape. Let go of the cassette and wait for the VCR to pull the tape in. When the slot door closes, the VHS is fully inserted.
