1-4 Videocassette to be Used

Use JVC’s videocassette tapes marked with the “” or

” symbol.

Standard DV videocassette: LA-DV276, LA-DV186, LA- DV124

Mini DV videocassette: M-DV63PRO, M-DV60, M-DV30 * Do not use M-DV80.

Videocassettes cannot be used upside down.

Avoid storing a videocassette with its tape not being completely wound, as this may damage the tape. Rewind it to the beginning before placing a cassette into storage.

Store videocassettes in a place with little humidity and good ventilation where mould does not form.

After a videocassette tape has been used repeatedly, it becomes unable to maintain full performance due to an increase in noise caused by dropouts, etc. Do not continue to use a dirty or damaged tape, as this will reduce the rotary head life.

Videocassette tapes with the “” or “” symbol are provided with a switch on the back to prevent accidental erasure.

Slide the switch to SAVE to protect the required recording in the tape from being overwritten.

To record on the tape, slide the switch to REC.

Do not leave the videotapes neglected for a long period.

If videotapes are left wound for a long period of time, it may result in distortion of the tape. Also it may cause tape-to-tape adhesion (known as blocking). It is recommended that vid- eotapes be unspooled and rewound once a year for refresh- ing.

When tapes are not in use, store them in cases and on end. Storage cases protect videotapes from humidity, dust and ultraviolet light. Keep tapes in cases and do not store them lying flat. When housed in a horizontal position, pressure from other tapes can cause distortions and deformations of the tape edges.
