Cassette Care and Storage
• When you are finished with a cassette,
rewind it, remove it from the
camcorder, and label it.
• Store cassettes vertically in their
protective cases 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.
• Keep the cassette away from strong
magnetic fields such as electric motors
and other devices.

spliced tape.

damaged or exposed to moisture. The
tape may jam and/or damage your
camcorder.

one way with
the tape wheel
facing up and
the tape win-
dow facing

slide easily
into the com-
partment. Do
not force the
