Mini DV Cassette

Precautions when using a Mini DV
cassette

• Be sure to use only Mini DV cassettes with the

mark.

• This camcorder can record and play back

using Mini DV cassettes with cassette
memory, but it cannot record or play back this
memory.

• To record in LP mode, use a Mini DV cassette

labelled for use with LP mode.

• Do not insert anything into the holes on the

bottom of the Mini DV cassette or block them
in any way.

• Avoid placing the Mini DV cassette in an area

conducive to dust or mold.

• Do not place the Mini DV cassette near

magnetic sources such as electric clocks or
magnetic devices as this may adversely
affect recorded material.

• When a previously recorded Mini DV cassette

is used again for recording, the previously
recorded material will be automatically
erased.

• The Mini DV cassette will not operate if

inserted in the wrong direction.

• Do not repeatedly insert and eject the Mini DV

cassette without running the tape as this may
cause uneven tape winding and damage the
tape.

• Do not place the Mini DV cassette in direct

sunlight, near strong heat sources, or in areas
with excessive steam.

• Store the Mini DV cassette in its case and

stand it in an upright position.

• If the tape is not properly wound, rewind the

tape.

• Do not drop the Mini DV cassette or subject it

to excessive shocks.

To protect recordings against acciden-
tal erasure

Slide the protect tab on the rear of the Mini DV
cassette to the “SAVE” position.

To record over a previously recorded tape,
slide the protect tab to the “REC” position.

Erasure protect tab

AC Adapter

• The AC adapter may interfere with reception if

used near a radio.

• Prevent flammables, liquids, and metal

objects from entering the adapter.

• The adapter is a sealed unit. Do not attempt

to open or modify it.

• Do not damage, drop, or subject the adapter

to vibration.

• Do not leave the adapter in direct sunlight.

• Avoid using the adapter in humid or ex-

tremely hot places.

Replacing the Fluorescent
Lamp

This camcorder uses a fluorescent lamp to
backlight the LCD monitor. If the monitor
becomes dark or difficult to view, the fluores-
cent lamp may need to be replaced. Contact
the nearest SHARP service centre or your
dealer for further advice.
