Inserting a Cassette
1. Slide the EJECT switch in the direction of the arrow. The cassette door opens automatically.
2. Place the cassette in the cassette holder so that the transparent window faces away from the
body of the camcorder and the sprockets toward the body of the camcorder.
3. Push the cassette holder, which is embossed PUSH LOCK on the left hand side, until it "clicks"
into place. The camcorder automatically closes.
Caution: Be sure that you push the cassette holder embossed PUSH LOCK to close the
holder. Otherwise, the holder will not click into place and the tape may be slack which could
lead to damage.
Note: If TAPE flashes in the viewfinder, remove the cassette and check that the tape is not
damaged, is not slack or no dust adheres to it, etc. After making sure that there is no
abnormality, reinsert the cassette. If TAPE reappears, see "Troubleshooting" on page 60.

Protecting Recorded Material
Protect 8mm cassettes from accidental erasure by sliding the tab on the side of the cassette
towards the opposite side until the tab is completely visible. Slide the tab in the opposite direction,
until the tab disappears, to record on the cassette again.
