Notes

• Before inserting a cassette, make sure that there 

is no cassette in the cassette compartment. 
Inserting two cassettes by mistake may cause a 
malfunction.

• Internal parts of the camcorder may become 

bent or otherwise damaged if you attempt to 
insert a mini-size cassette in the wrong direction 
(such as with the cassette turned backside front 
so the reel holes face the cassette holder window 
or with the cassette turned sideways so that a 
short side enters first).

• If a cassette is not inserted completely or gets 

stuck when being inserting, take out the cassette 
and reinsert it. If your insert a cassette forcibly, 
the cassette may not be inserted in the correct 
position or may cause a malfunction.

• When inserting a cassette, hold the center of the 

cassette and insert it straight toward the 
compartment. 

Holding the side of the cassette 

may cause it to be inserted incorrectly.

• When inserting a cassette, put the camcorder on 

a horizontal and stable surface.

• When inserting a mini DV cassette tape, strong 

light entering the slot may cause a malfunction 
such as improper cassette type detection.
