How to Tell

 * Tapes that were duplicated at Magnetic Video Corporation would have "MAG1" engraved on the back of the tape.
 * On Canadian copies, the engraving would read "MAG-2".
 * 1984 tapes duplicated at CBS/Fox would have engraving on the right side of the tape that says "CBS/FOX."
 * 1985-1987 tapes duplicated at CBS/Fox would have printings on the bottom middle side that contain serial numbers and a day and year code that is read in either Day/YY or Day/Y. Additionally, there would also be a side number and a print time.
 * Example 1 - if the day and year code reads "1656" or "165 86", that means the tape was printed on the 165th day of 1986.
 * Example 2 - if the print time next to the code reads "18-23" or "1823", that means the tape was printed at 6:23 PM.
 * Example 3 - Tapes with Day/Y and 00-00 have a double side number, while tapes with Day/YY and 0000 have a single side number. Occassionally, some tapes that are printed with 2 separate print dates/times in both print code types have a triple side number.
