| Record Safety Tab |
VHS Tape Cassette | Both VHS and 8mm tapes have record safety tabs, to protect |
| you from accidentally recording over your tapes. On a VHS |
| tape, you break the record safety tab off to prohibit record- |
| ing. If you later wish to record on that tape, you can put a |
| small piece of adhesive tape over the opening. |
On an 8mm tape, you can slide the tab open and closed. If the tab is open, you will be able to record on the tape. If the
Record Safety Tab tab is closed (it will be red), you won’t be able to record on the tape.
