Notes For Video Cassette
Notes for use
■ Unlike audio cassettes, video cassettes may be used on only one side.
■ The tape runs from left to right and stops when it reaches the end. When the tape becomes fully wound on the right reel,
rewind before using again.
■ Do not insert and remove the video cassette in and from the cassette holder repeatedly without getting the tape run to
prevent the tape from being loose and damaged.
To prevent accidental erasure
Break off the erasure prevention tab on the cassette. After it has been
removed, the tape cannot be used for recording.
To record again on a cassette with the tab removed, simply cover the
hole with adhesive tape.
t Block the
hole with
tape.
Notes for handling
Condensation may form on the tape if the video cassette is exposed to sudden changes in temperature and humidity such as
may occur when it is taken from a cold to a warm place. In this case, let it remain at room temperature until the condensation
evaporates to prevent the tape from damage. Depending on the surrounding condition, this may take about 2 hours.
■ Do not touch the tape surface.
■ Never subject the cassette to shock or strong vibrations.
■ Cassettes are precision-made devices. Do not disassemble them.
■ Do not dry condensed tape with a hair dryer, or similar appliance.
Notes for storage
After use, be sure to fully rewind the tape to the beginning on the left reel.
Store the cassettes vertically in their cases.
The cassette should never be stored in the following places:
• near strong magnetic fields such as generated by a power
transformer, electric motor, and magnets, etc.;
• in extremely damp or dusty places;
• exposed to direct sunlight or near sources of heat;
• in a closed automobile.
