Cassettes
To properly use and store your cassettes, be sure to read the following cautions:
1. During use . . .
.... make sure the cassette bears the Mini DV
mark.

the tape to fingerprints and dust.
2. Store cassettes . . .
.... away from heaters or other heat sources.
.... out of direct sunlight.
.... where they won’t be subject to unnecessary
shock or vibration.
.... where they won’t be exposed to strong
magnetic fields (such as those generated by motors, transformers or magnets).
.... vertically, in their original cases.
