Playing Back a Cassette
You can use the LCD screen for instant, on-the-spot playback. The camcorder also
plays back the sound track via the built-in speaker ( 32).
• When you play back a tape, you can also close the LCD panel with its screen
side facing up.
• When you’re using the viewfinder to view playback, close the LCD panel.
To play back your recordings on a TV, see p. 33.
To use the wireless controller, see p. 49.
Note:
• 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 labelled SAVE or
ERASE OFF).
1. Attach a power source and turn the POWER switch to PLAY
(VCR).
• The power indicator lights up.
2. Make sure the TAPE/CARD switch is set to TAPE.
3. Load the cassette.
4. Press the e (play) button to start playback.
• To end playback, press the
33
(stop) button.
• To wind the tape forwards, stop playback and press the
11
(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.
