GETTING STARTED
(Cont.)
Loading/Unloading A Cassette
The camcorder needs to be powered up to load or eject a cassette.
NOTES:
●
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 cover and try
again.
●
Be careful not to get your fingers caught in the
holder when it’s closing. If this happens, the
holder will open automatically after a few
seconds.
●
When the camcorder is suddenly moved from a
cold place to a warm environment, wait a short
time before opening the cover.
●
Closing the cassette cover before the cassette
holder comes out may cause damage to the
camcorder.
●
When shooting again after already shooting a
scene, a blank portion is recorded on the tape or
a previously recorded scene is erased (recorded
over) if you open the cassette cover, regardless of
whether the cassette holder comes out or not. See
page 20 for information about recording from the
middle of a tape.
** To protect valuable recordings . . .
.... slide the erase protection switch on the back of
the tape in the direction of “SAVE”. This prevents
this tape from being recorded over. If you decide
later that you do want to record on this tape, slide
the switch back to “REC” before loading the tape.
