Cassettes

To properly use and store your cassettes, be sure to read the following cautions:

when inserting.

.... do not load and unload the cassette repeatedly

without allowing the tape to run at all. This slackens the tape and can result in damage.

.... do not open the front tape cover. This exposes the

tape to fingerprints and dust.

●Moisture on the head drum can cause severe damage to the video tape, and can lead to internal damage to the camcorder itself.
