Protecting Tapes from Accidental Erasure
To protect your recording from accidental erasure, slide the tab on the
cassette so that it exposes the hole. (This switch position is usually labelled
SAVE or ERASE OFF.)
If you load this cassette and put the camcorder in record pause mode
( 18), “THE TAPE IS SET FOR ERASURE PREVENTION” is displayed for
approx. 4 seconds and then the v mark flashes in the display.
If you want to record on the cassette again, slide the tab back so that the
hole is closed.

Cassette Memory Function
You are unable to use the cassette memory function with this camcorder.
• To protect the tape heads, transfer cassettes directly from the tape case to
the camcorder — do not open the tape protect cover or touch the tape
itself.
• Do not use cassettes where the tape has been damaged or spliced — they
may damage the camcorder.
• Do not insert anything into the small holes on the cassette or cover them
with cellophane tape.
• Handle cassettes with care — dropping them or exposing them to external
shocks may cause internal damage.
• Store cassettes in the provided case, first rewinding them to the start of
the tape and then storing them upright.
• A cassette with metal plated terminals may become dirty with use,
affecting information transfer. Therefore, after using a tape about 10
times, be sure to clean the terminals with a cotton bud.
