ªAbout the cassette

Never place the cassette in a high temperature place.

≥The tape may be damaged, producing mosaic-like noise at the time of playback.

When storing the cassette after use, be sure to rewind the tape to the beginning and take it out.

≥If the cassette is left for more than 6 months (depending on the storage condition) in the Camcorder or stopped midway, the tape may

sag and be damaged.

≥Once every 6 months, wind the tape to the end and then rewind it to the beginning. If the cassette is left for 1 year or longer without winding or rewinding, the tape may be deformed by expansion or shrinkage attributable to temperature and humidity. The wound tape may stick to itself.
