Remarks on the use of tape

zDo not load the videotape in the wrong direction.

zStore the tape only after it has been fully rewound, so as to avoid damaging the tape.

zStore the cassette in places low in humidity, well-ventilated and fungus-proof.

zWhen a cassette tape is used repeatedly, noise may increase due to e.g., dropout, etc. hence affecting its performance. Do not use dirty or damaged tapes as they will shorten the life span of the rotation head.

„For recording and storing videotapes in the best condition

Observe the following instructions for the best recording and storage of videotapes.

•Take care of the conditions of handling videotapes.

It is recommended that you record and store videotapes in the environment below.

		Storage
	Recording	Short period	Long period
		(Up to 10 years)	(Over 10 years)
Temperature	17°C to 25°C	15°C to 23°C	15°C to 19°C
Humidity	30% to 70%	40% to 55%	25% to 35%
Hourly temperature change	Less than 10°C	-	-
Hourly humidity change	Less than 10%	-	-

•Do not leave the videotapes neglected for a long period.

If videotapes are left wound for a long period of time, it may result in distortion of the tape. Also it may cause tape-to-tape adhesion (known as blocking). It is recommended that videotapes be unspooled and rewound once a year for refreshing.

•When tapes are not in use, store them in cases and on end.

Storage cases protect videotapes from humidity, dust and ultraviolet. Keep tapes in cases and do not store them lying flat. When housed in a horizontal position, pressure from other tapes can cause distortions and deformations of the tape edges.
