HC-Pedia Entry

Videotape cassette

Always store videotapes in cardboard jackets or plastic storage cases when not in use. Dust on cassettes will be transferred to the inside of your VCR, where it can cause a host of problems with the video heads and electronic components.

Clean dust from cassettes using a microfiber dusting cloth. Don't spray liquid cleaners onto a videotape. It shouldn't be necessary, especially since liquids can damage a VCR in a hurry. To remove a smudge, dampen a soft cloth with clean water and dab it on the spot. Be sure to dry the spot completely before inserting the tape into a VCR.

 

 

Video cassettes used for repeated tapings should be discarded and replaced with a new cassette after roughly 200 viewings. At this age, videotape has lost much of the coating that helps protect the video head from wear.
