Videocassettes 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. If a snowy picture or no-picture condition persists, consider the use of a dry chemical nonabrasive head-cleaning tape. Be sure to follow the directions with the headcleaning kit carefully. Improper use of a head cleaner might damage your camcorder. Using Videocassettes Erase Protection - Safety Tab You can use your videocassettes over and over again. To erase a previous recording, just record over it. Safety Tab To prevent accidental erasure, break off the tab. To record on the tape again, cover the hole with vinyl tape.
