Erase Protection; Recording And Playback Speed And Times - RCA Pro884HB User Manual

Video Cassettes
We recommend our cassettes be used with your camcorder. Use of poor
quality or damaged tapes can contaminate the video heads, resulting in snow
or no picture during playback. Head cleaning is not covered under warranty.
It is considered normal maintenance. Playing a new tape for approximately
30 minutes will often satisfactorily clean the heads and improve your picture.
Erase Protection – Safety Tab
You can use your video cassettes over and over again. To erase a previous
recording, just record over it.
