Some do’s and dont’s on tape care.

DO:

1)Use a good quality branded tape, such as Panasonic.

2)Keep in the box supplied with the tape, or a video case, when not in use.

3)Try to use the whole tape when making recordings and avoid re-recording over the same section of the tape repeatedly as this will help prevent premature tape wear.

DO NOT:

1)Expose the tape to high humidity or temperature.

2)Expose to liquid.

3)Expose to dust particles by storing directly on a carpet for example.

4)Use a damaged tape or attempt to repair it.

5)Dismantle the cassette housing.

6)Attempt to lift the front cassette flap or touch the tape surface.
