Video Cassettes

We recommend RCA cassettes be used with your camcorder. Use of poor quality or damaged tapes can contaminate the video heads, resulting in snow or no picture during playback. Head cleaning is not covered under warranty. It is considered normal maintenance. Playing a new RCA tape for approximately 30 minutes will often satisfactorily clean the heads and improve your picture.

Erase Protection – Safety Tab

You can use your video cassettes over and over again. To erase a previous recording, just record over it.
