just record over it.
Recording and Playback Times
The camcorder records and plays back in VHS standard speed (SP). The chart shows
the maximum SP recording times for popular VHS cassettes.
We recommend that our cassettes be used with 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
non-abrasive head-cleaning tape. Be sure to follow the directions with the head-
cleaning kit carefully. Improper use of a head cleaner may damage your camcorder.
