Care of the Video Cassettes

Do not leave a video tape in the VCP overnight, or during hot or cold conditions. This may cause the tape to stick to the VCP heads which could damage the tape or VCP.

Do not directly touch the magnetic tape surface. Avoid exposing a video cassette to direct sunlight and keep it away from heat sources such as heater vents.

Avoid extreme environments such as high humidity, excessive vibrations or jarring, strong magnetic fields (from a speaker for example), and dust.

Always place the video cassette back in its case after use.
