Tape Handling - Professional Media

Do not manually wind tape


This results in tape damage.

  • Cassette tapes are designed for optimal playback, rewinding and forwarding with VTR machines.
  • If you manually open the cassette lid and conduct hand winding, you may expose tapes to contamination or accidental scratches. If you rotate a reel naturally, you may introduce excess pressure to the tapes against metal guides. It may cause brush scratches.
