and the clear plastic window that
shows the video tape is facing

Preventing accidental erasure
Tapes come with an erase prevention tab
which, when removed, prevents the
tape’s contents from being erased or
recorded over.
Note
•
We recommend that you take any broken or torn tapes to a
professional for repair. The adhesives on many common types
of tape could damage the head of your VCR.
