OPEN/EJECT
in the direction of
the arrow, then pull the cassette holder cover
open until it locks. The cassette holder opens
automatically.
●
Do not touch internal components.
3
Insert or remove a tape and press “PUSH HERE”
to close the cassette holder.
●
Be sure to press only the section labeled
“PUSH HERE” to close the cassette holder;
touching other parts may cause your finger to
get caught in the cassette holder, resulting in
injury or product damage.
●
Once the cassette holder is closed, it recedes
automatically. Wait until it recedes completely
before closing the cassette holder cover.
●
When the battery pack’s charge is low, you
may not be able to close the cassette holder
cover. Do not apply force. Replace the battery
pack with a fully charged one or use AC power
before continuing.

Close the cassette holder cover firmly until it
locks into place.
To protect valuable recordings…
Slide the erase protection tab on the back of the tape
in the direction of “SAVE”. This prevents the tape
from being recorded over. To record on this tape,
slide the tab back to “REC” before loading it.
Approximate recording time
To switch the recording mode, refer to pages 35 and
36.
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
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.
●
When the camcorder is suddenly moved from a
cold place to a warm environment, wait a short
time before opening the cassette holder cover.
●
Closing the cassette holder cover before the
cassette holder recedes may cause damage to the
camcorder.
●
Even when the camcorder is switched off, a
cassette can be loaded or unloaded. After the
cassette holder is closed with the camcorder
switched off, however, it may not recede. It is
recommended to turn the power on before
loading or unloading.
●
When resuming recording, once you open the
cassette holder cover a blank portion will be
recorded on the tape or a previously recorded
scene will be erased (recorded over) regardless of
whether the cassette holder came out or not. See
“Recording From The Middle Of A Tape”
