ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Power (pg. 6)
● Perform charging where the temperature is between 10°C
and 35°C (50°F and 95°F). 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F) is
the ideal temperature range for charging. If the environment
is too cold, charging may be incomplete.
● Charging time is based on room temperature of 20°C
(68°F).
● Charging times are for a fully discharged battery pack.
● Charging time varies according to the ambient temperature
and the status of the battery pack.
● To avoid interference with reception, do not use the AC
Adapter near a radio.
● Since the AC Adapter processes electricity internally, it
becomes warm during use. Be sure to use it only in well-
ventilated areas.
● The following operation stops charging:
• Set the Power Switch to “PLAY”, “A” or “M”.
• Disconnect the AC Adapter from the camcorder.
• Unplug the AC Adapter from the AC outlet.
• Detach the battery from the camcorder.
● Using the optional AA-V40U AC Power Adapter/Charger,
you can charge the BN-V408U/V416U/V428U battery pack
without the camcorder. However, it cannot be used as an
AC Adapter.
Loading/Unloading A Cassette (pg. 10)
● It takes a few seconds for the cassette holder to open. Do
not apply force.
● If you wait a few seconds and the cassette holder does not
open, close the cassette holder cover and try again. If the
cassette holder still does not open, turn the camcorder off
then on again.
● If the tape does not load properly, open the cassette holder
cover fully and remove the cassette. A few minutes later,
insert it again.
● When the camcorder is suddenly moved from a cold place
to a warm environment, wait a short time before opening
the cassette holder cover.
● Closing the cassette holder cover before the cassette
holder recedes may cause damage to the camcorder.
● Even when the camcorder is switched off, a cassette can
be loaded or unloaded. After the cassette holder is closed
with the camcorder switched off, however, it may not
recede. It is recommended to turn the power on before
loading or unloading.
● When resuming recording, once you open the cassette
holder cover a blank portion will be recorded on the tape or
a previously recorded scene will be erased (recorded over)
regardless of whether the cassette holder came out or not.
See “Recording From The Middle Of A Tape” (੬ pg. 13).
VIDEO RECORDING (pg. 11)
● When you use the LCD monitor outdoors in direct sunlight,
the LCD monitor may be difficult to see. If this happens, use
the viewfinder instead.
● The cassette holder cannot be opened unless a power
supply is attached.
● There may be a delay after you open the cassette holder
cover until the cassette holder opens. Do not use force.
● Once the cassette holder is closed, it recedes
automatically. Wait until it recedes completely before
closing the cassette holder cover.
● When the Recording Start/Stop button is pressed, it may
take a few seconds before actual recording starts. The “T”
indicator starts rotating when the camcorder actually starts
recording.
● The time required to calculate and display the remaining
tape length, and the accuracy of the calculation, may vary
according to the type of tape used.
● “TAPE END” appears when the tape reaches its end, and
the power goes off automatically if left in this condition for 5
minutes. “TAPE END” also appears when a cassette at its
end is loaded.
