• Rewind tapes after use. A slack or
damaged tape may cause video
problems and/or audio distortions
during playback.
• Return cassettes to the case and
store them upright. Rewind tapes
from time to time if they are stored for
a long time.
• Do not leave the cassette in the
camcorder after use.
• Do not use spliced tapes or
nonstandard cassettes as they may
damage the camcorder.
• Do not use tapes that have been
jammed as video heads may become
dirty.
• Do not insert anything into the small
holes of the cassette, or cover them
with cellophane tape.
• Handle cassettes with care. Do not
drop or subject them to severe
impact as this may damage the
cassettes.
• With cassettes equipped with a
memory function, metal plated
terminals may become dirty with use.
Clean the terminals with a cotton
swab after about 10 times of
removing and reinserting the
cassette. The memory function is not
supported by the camcorder.
