Cassette Care and Storage
• When you are finished with a cassette,
rewind it, and remove it from the
camcorder.
• When you are finished recording, close
the cassette’s record-protect (safety) tab
to prevent accidental erasure.
• Label your cassettes before storing them.
• Store cassettes vertically in their
protective boxes at normal room
temperatures. Do not leave your
camcorder or cassettes in a car or
outdoors for an extended period.
Excessive heat or cold may damage
your cassettes.

Caution: Insert the

3. Gently close the cassette compartment
door with your hand. The camcorder

cassette compartment. Do not push
the top down or you may damage
your camcorder.
• Do not touch or cover the small holes in
the cassette or use cassettes with
damaged or spliced tape.
• 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.
• Keep the cassette 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 and/or damage your
camcorder.
