Dust contains hard mineral particles, and dusty Cassettes damage the heads of the Movie Camera and other components. Develop a habit of returning the Cassette back to its case. •Once every half year, wind the tape to the end and then rewind it to the beginning. If the Cassette is left for 1 year or longer without winding or rewinding, temperature and humidity changes may cause the Cassette to deform due to swelling, shrinking, and so forth. The wound tape may stick to itself. • Do not place a Cassette near highly magnetic substances or equipment. •The surface of tape is covered with extremely minute magnetic particles, upon which signals are recorded.
