You can use your video cassettes over and over again.
To erase a previous recording, just record over it.
Recording Speed and Times
The camcorder records and plays back in
VHS standard speed (SP). Listed are the
maximum SP recording times for popular
VHS cassettes.
We recommend our cassettes be used with your camcorder. The tape in these cassettes
is of high-quality formulation manufactured to critical specifications for excellent
performance. Use of tape not meeting these specifications could considerably reduce
the performance of your camcorder.
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.
Playing a new tape for approximately 30 minutes will often satisfactorily clean the
heads and improve your picture. If a snowy picture or no-picture condition persists,
consider the use of a dry chemical, nonabrasive head-cleaning kit. Be sure to follow
the directions with the head-cleaning kit carefully. Improper use of a head cleaner
may damage your camcorder.
To prevent accidental
erasure, break the tab.
