Insert a VHS-C tape into the Nedis VCON110BK VHS-C cassette converter to record or watch it in a standard VHS video recorder. Insert an AA battery to automatically open the front and feed a band in or out. Keep in mind that 8mm bands are not compatible with VCON110BK. Only those tapes that have the VHS-C logo can be used. When using VCON110BK in combination with a VHS player and VHS-C cassette, keep the following in mind:• Over the years, grease and dust that are not always detectable by the eye may have accumulated in the VHS player and VHS-C tapes and may damage tapes inserted or jammed in the player before use. We recommend that you use VHS cleaners on your equipment.• Before inserting a VHS-C tape, make sure that the VHS-C tape is not stretched. If it appears to be stretched, you can reduce tension by rolling up the main cog of the tape 1/4 turn (90 degrees).• Try to use only the VHS player's regular playback function and avoid using fast-forward or rewind whenever possible. This prevents unnecessary stress on the VHS-C cassette tape.Additional information: When inserting a tape for the first time. First, turn the tape all the way forward and then all the way backward before pressing the play button on the VCR
