Inserting and Removing
a Cassette
Inserting
1
Attach the power source to the
camcorder, then slide and hold the
cassette compartment door release as
you open the cassette compartment
door.
• After confirmation sound, the cassette
holder extends and opens automatically.
4
Wait for the cassette holder to fully
retract. Close the compartment door by
pressing its centre until it clicks into
place.
2
Insert a commercially available Mini DV
cassette fully with the window facing
outwards, and with the erasure protect
tab facing upwards.
3
Press the “PUSH” mark gently until the
cassette holder clicks into place.
• After confirmation sound, the cassette
holder retracts automatically.
Removing
Perform step 1 above, then take out the
cassette.
Cautions:
• Do not try to close the cassette compartment
door while the cassette holder is extending or
retracting.
• Be careful not to get your fingers caught in the
cassette holder.
• Do not apply force to the cassette holder except
when pressing the “PUSH” mark to close it.
• Do not tilt the camcorder or hold it upside down
when you are inserting or removing a cassette. It
may damage the tape.
• Remove the cassette if you will not use the
camcorder for a long period of time.
• If you do not correctly close the cassette holder
in step 3, the cassette protection mechanism of
the camcorder might eject the cassette. If this
happens, repeat the insertion procedure.
• Do not attempt to pick up the camcorder by the
cassette compartment door.
Notes:
• If the battery power is too low, you may not be
able to eject the cassette. Replace the battery
pack with a fully charged one.
• You can only use Mini DV cassettes. Large DV
cassettes cannot be used. Be sure to use Mini
DV cassettes with the
i
mark.
• This camcorder reproduces the highest picture
quality when used with an ME tape. It is
recommended you use an ME tape for high-
quality recording and playback.
• See page 83 for more information on the video
cassette tapes intended for use with this
camcorder.
