Do not touch internal components.

Insert or remove a tape and press “PUSH”

Be sure to press only the section labeled
“PUSH” to close the cassette holder; touching
other parts may cause your finger to get caught
in the cassette holder, resulting in injury or
product damage.

Once the cassette holder is closed, it recedes
automatically. Wait until it recedes completely
before closing the cassette holder cover.
●
When the battery pack’s charge is low, you may
not be able to close the cassette holder cover.
Do not apply force. Replace the battery pack
with a fully charged one or use AC power before
continuing.

Close the cassette holder cover firmly until
it locks into place.
NOTES:
●
If you wait a few seconds and the cassette
holder does not open, close the cassette holder
cover and try again. If the cassette holder still
does not open, turn the camcorder off then on
again.
●
If the tape does not load properly, open the
cassette holder cover fully and remove the
cassette. A few minutes later, insert it again.
●
When the camcorder is suddenly moved from a
cold place to a warm environment, wait a short
time before opening the cassette holder cover.
