Caring for video cassette tapes used in your RCA VHS player

• Don't expose video cassette tapes to direct sunlight or extreme heat sources.
• Avoid storing video cassette tapes in spaces where they'll be exposed to high humidity.
• Don't store video cassette tapes in areas where they'll get dusty. Use a cassette storage box to store tapes to prevent exposure to dust. For long term storage, seal the storage container to prevent dust exposure.
• After using a tape, rewind the tape to the beginning before storing. Store the tape in the vertical position.
• Don't leave a video cassette tape inside the VHS player when you're not intending to play the tape for an extended period of time (such as more than 1 week).

• Door flap. The door flap hinges open to allow a video cassette tape to slide into the deck assembly when you insert the tape. The door flap hinges shut to cover the video cassette tape opening when the tape is full inserted. The flap opens to allow the tape to eject then hinges shut after the video cassette tape is ejected and pulled out of the VHS player.
• Fuse. The fuse blows when an electrical short circuit in the VHS player cause too much electrical current to flow through the power cord to metal inside the VHS player cabinet to protect you from electrical shock.
• Remote control. The remote control uses RF (radio frequency) signals to communicate operational commands and setting to the VHS player from a remote location.
• Electronic control board. The electronic control board powers components inside the VHS player, processes video and audio signals from the tape heads and controls display functions in the VHS player.
