Recording Time, Inserting/Removing Cassettes

-VideoCassettes

We recommend that RCA cassettes be used with your camcorder. The tape in these cassettes is of high- quality formulation. It has been manufactured to our critical specifications for excellent performance. Use of tape not meeting these specifications could considerably reduce the performance of your camcorder.

Use of poor quality tapes or tapes that have been damaged or mishandled can contaminate the

video heads, resulting in a snowy picture or no picture at all during playback. Because there is no control over the type of tape purchased or rented by consumers, 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. If a snowy picture or no-picture

condition persists, consider the use of a chemical non-abrasive head

cleaning tape (RCA Stock No. AV009W) available from your

dealer or many electronic supply stores. Be sure to follow the

directions with the head cleaning kit carefully. Improper use of a

head cleaner may damage your camcorder.

Recording Time

The camcorder records and plays back in VHS standard speed (SP). Listed below are the maximum SP

recording times for popular VHS cassettes.

Adapter/Charger or a charged battery).

CAUTION: Insert cassette only one way with record- protect tab facing up and tape windows facing out. Tape should fit easily in compartment. Do Not Force. Check position if insertion is not easy.

You can use your video cassettes over and over again. To erase a

previous recording, just record over it.

record-protect tab from the back of the cassette as shown below.

Recording is impossible when this tab is removed.

To record again on a cassette that has the tab removed, simply

cover the hole with vinyl tape as shown.

Cassette Care and Storage--

Follow these directions for continued high-quality performance from your cassettes.

•When you are finished with a cassette, rewind it and remove it from the camcorder.

Store cassettes vertically in their

protective boxes at normal room temperatures. Avoid extreme heat and humidity. Extreme heat can warp the cassette or cause the tape to stretch excessively.

Keep away from strong magnetic fields such as electric motors and

other devices.

Be especially careful to keep dust from entering the cassette compartment. All dust is abrasive and it will cause excessive wear of both the tape and the camcorder's recording/ playback heads.
