Video Cassettes

We recommend that our cassettes be used with 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.

If a snowy picture or no-picture condition persists, consider the use of a dry chemical non-abrasive head-cleaning tape. Be sure to follow the directions with the head- cleaning kit carefully. Improper use of a head cleaner may damage your camcorder.

Erase Protection — Safety Tab

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