Insert the cassette with the tape window facing upwards and the arrow pointing towards the camcorder's loading mechanism. Gently push until it clicks into place. Refer to your camcorder's manual for specific loading instructions.

3. Betjeningsvejledning
3.1 Optagelse
- Recording Mode Selection: Before recording, select your desired recording mode (SP for Standard Play or EP for Extended Play) on your camcorder. SP mode offers higher quality but shorter recording time (30 minutes). EP mode offers longer recording time (90 minutes) at a slightly lower quality.
- Start af optagelse: Press the "Record" button on your camcorder. Ensure the camcorder is in recording mode and the tape is not write-protected.
- Stop af optagelse: Press the "Stop" button to end recording.
- Skrivebeskyttelse: To prevent accidental erasure of recorded content, locate the small tab on the side of the cassette. Break off this tab to enable write protection. To record again, cover the tab opening with adhesive tape.
3.2 Afspilning
- Loading for Playback: Insert the recorded VHSc cassette into your camcorder or a VHSc-to-VHS adapter in a VCR.
- Start af afspilning: Press the "Play" button on your device.
- Hurtigt frem/tilbage: Use the "FF" (Fast Forward) and "REW" (Rewind) buttons to navigate through the tape.
4. Pleje og vedligeholdelse
- Opbevaring: Store cassettes in their original protective cases when not in use. Keep them away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, humidity, and strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, televisions).
- Temperatur: Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations. Allow a cassette to accustom to room temperature before use if it has been stored in a very cold or hot environment.
- Rensning: Do not attempt to clean the magnetic tape directly. If your camcorder or VCR requires cleaning, use a dedicated head cleaning cassette according to your device's instructions.
- Støv og affald: Keep cassettes free from dust and debris. Dust can cause damage to the tape and recording/playback heads.
