When the battery pack’s charge is low, you may
not be able to close the cassette holder cover. Do

fully charged one or use AC power before
continuing.

it.

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.
