The camcorder needs to be powered up to load or eject a
cassette.
1 Slide and hold 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.
2 Insert or remove a tape and press “PUSH HERE” to
close the cassette holder.
● Be sure to press only the section labelled “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.
3 Close the cassette holder cover firmly until it locks into
place.
Approximate recording time
To switch the recording mode, refer to pages 18 and 19.
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.
