STORING VIDEO CASSETTES

Unless you are making a timer recording, eject and store the cassette when you finish using it. This helps protect the cassette and the TV/VCR’s internal mechanisms from dust.

Place your video cassettes in their protective boxes and store them in a cool, dry, dust-free environ- ment. Store the cassettes on end, not on their sides. This prevents improper settling of the cassette’s spools.

Tape can become wound too tightly around the cassette’s spools after you play a tape several times. This can cause the cassette to improperly load and automatically eject when you insert it. On most cassettes there is a brake-release plunger on the bottom center of the cassette. Use the tip of a pen or pencil to press the plunger. This loosens the tape.
