Cassette Care and Storage
Follow these directions for continued high-quality performance from your cassettes.
• Keep cassettes away from strong
magnetic fields, such as electric motors
and other devices.
• Do not use a cassette if it has been
damaged or exposed to moisture. The
tape may jam or damage the camcorder.
• When you are finished recording, break
off the safety tab on the cassette to
prevent accidental erasure.
• Do not leave your camcorder or
cassettes in a car or outdoors for an
extended period. Excessive heat or
cold may damage them.
• When you are finished with a cassette,
rewind it and remove it from the
camcorder.
• Label and store cassettes vertically in
their protective cases at normal room
temperatures. Excessive heat or cold
may damage your cassettes.
• Keep dust from entering the cassette
compartment. All dust is abrasive and
will cause excessive wear on the tape
and the camcorder’s recording or
playback heads.
1. Attach a power source to the
camcorder (either a charged battery or
adapter/charger).
2. Press STOP/EJECT on the top of the
camcorder to open cassette door.
3. Insert or remove the cassette from the
cassette compartment.
