●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 “
