Cassette
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.
