Video Cassettes; Erase Protection; Recording And Playback Times - RCA CC428 User Manual

Video Cassettes

Use of poor quality tapes or tapes that have been damaged or mishandled can
contaminate the video heads, resulting in a snowy picture or no picture at all during
playback. Because there is no control over the type of tape purchased or rented by
consumers, head cleaning is not covered under warranty. It is considered normal
maintenance.
If a snowy picture or no-picture condition persists, consider the use of a dry chemical
non-abrasive head-cleaning tape. Be sure to follow the directions with the head-
cleaning kit carefully. Improper use of a head cleaner may damage your camcorder.
Erase Protection — Safety Tab
You can use your video cassettes over and over again. To erase a previous recording,
just record over it.
Safety Tab
To prevent accidental
erasure, break the tab.
