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.

.... be aware that recording onto prerecorded

tapes automatically erases the previously recorded video and audio signals.

magnetic fields (such as those generated by motors, transformers or magnets).
