VIDEO CASSETTE TAPES
Use only video cassette tapes bearing the w logo. This
VCR was primarily designed for use with T-120 cassette
tapes, it is recommended to use T-120 standard grade
VHS video cassette tapes for optimal performance.
Handling Cassette Tapes
The cassette tapes should always be stored vertically, in
their cases, away from high temperatures, magnetic
fields, direct sunlight, dirt, dust and locations subject to
mold formation.
Do not tamper with the cassette mechanism and never
touch the tape with your fingers.
Protect the cassette tapes from shocks or strong
vibrations.
To Protect your Recordings
After having recorded a tape, if you wish to keep the
recording, use a flathead screwdriver to break off the
erasure-prevention tab on the cassette.
To record again on a tape without erasure-prevention tab,
cover the hole with adhesive tape.
