Playing Back a Cassette
You can use the LCD screen for instant, on-the-spot playback. The camera also
plays back the sound track via the built-in speaker (p. 21).
• When you play back a tape, you can also close the LCD panel with its screen
side facing up.
• When the LCD panel is closed, you can monitor the playback using the
viewfinder.
To play back your recordings on a TV, see p. 25.
To use the wireless controller, see p. 33.
Notes:
• To avoid accidental recording, make sure that you slide the tab on the cassette
so that it exposes the hole (the switch position is usually labeled SAVE or
ERASE OFF).
• When you’re using the viewfinder to view playback, close the LCD panel.
1. Attach a power source and turn the POWER switch to VCR.
• The power indicator lights up green.
2. Load the cassette.
3. Press the
e
(play) button to start playback.
• To end playback, press the
3
(stop) button.
• To wind the tape forwards, stop playback and press the
1
(fast forward)
button.
• To wind the tape backwards, stop playback and press the
`
(rewind)
button.
• If the playback picture is rough (mosaic-like noise), clean the video heads
using a Canon DVM-CL Digital Video Head Cleaning Cassette or a
commercially available digital video head cleaning cassette.
