Make sure you select good quality tapes for 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. The automatic head-cleaning system minimizes the need for accessory cleaners or cleaning by a Service Center. This system is activated whenever you insert or remove a cassette. Erase Protection - Safety Tab You can use your videocassettes over and over again. To erase a previous recording, just record over it. Safety Tab A. Remove safety tab or slide tab to REC OFF. B. Cover hole with vinyl tape or slide tab to REC ON to record over tape. Recording and Playback Speeds and Times The camcorder records and plays back in standard speed (SP) or extended play (SLP). Select the recording speed by pressing and holding the SP/SLP button. The selected speed is displayed in the viewf'mder. Listed below are the maximum SP and SLP recording times for popular VHS-C cassettes. SP - Standard play provides the best picture (less picture noise), but the shortest recording time (20 minutes with a TC-20 tape). SLP - Extended play provides three times the recording time as SP (60 minutes with a TC-20 tape). SLP has slightly more picture noise than SP in normal playback. This might not be noticeable.
