Cassettes
To properly use and store your cassettes, be sure to read the following cautions:
1.During use . . .
.... make sure the cassette bears the S-VHS-C or VHS-C mark.
.... be aware that recording onto prerecorded tapes automatically erases the previously recorded video and audio signals.
.... make sure the cassette is positioned properly 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.
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.
