Loading/Unloading A Cassette
The camcorder needs to be powered up to load or eject a cassette.
1
OPEN CASSETTE DOOR
Turn on the power, then slide the OPEN/EJECT
switch in the direction of the arrow. The
cassette cover releases. Open the cover in the
direction of the arrow until it locks. The holder
opens automatically.
•Before opening the cassette cover, disconnect
the headphones and AUDIO/VIDEO
connectors from the jacks because the
cassette cover will interfere with them.
•Do not touch internal components.
2
INSERT/REMOVE TAPE
Insert or remove a tape and press “PUSH
HERE” to close the cassette holder.
•Once the cassette holder is closed, it
recedes automatically. Wait until it recedes
completely before closing the cassette cover.
•When the battery's charge is low, you may
not be able to close the cover. Do not apply
force. Replace the battery with a fully
charged one before continuing.
NOTES:
●
It takes a few seconds for the cassette holder to
open. Do not apply force.
●
If you wait a few seconds and the cassette holder
doesn’t open, close the cassette cover and try
again.
●
Be careful not to get your fingers caught in the
holder when it’s closing. If this happens, the
holder will open automatically after a few
seconds.
●
When the camcorder is suddenly moved from a
cold place to a warm environment, wait a short
time before opening the cover.
●
Closing the cassette cover before the cassette
holder comes out may cause damage to the
camcorder.
●
When shooting again after already shooting a
scene, a blank portion is recorded on the tape or
a previously recorded scene is erased (recorded
over) if you open the cassette cover, regardless of
whether the cassette holder comes out or not. See
page 20 for information about recording from the
middle of a tape.
** To protect valuable recordings . . .
..... slide the erase protection switch on the back of
the tape in the direction of “SAVE”. This prevents
this tape from being recorded over. If you decide
later that you do want to record on this tape, slide
the switch back to “REC” before loading the tape.
