Cassette Care and Storage
• Rewind and remove the cassette from
the camcorder. Break off the safety tab
to prevent accidental erasure, and label
the cassette before storing it.
• Store cassettes vertically in their
protective cases at normal room
temperatures.
• Keep dust from entering the cassette
compartment. All dust is abrasive and
will cause excessive wear on the tape
and camcorder’s heads.
Caution: Insert cassette with safety tab
facing up and the tape windows facing
out. The cassette should slide easily into
the compartment.
