GETTING STARTED
(Cont.)
Loading/Unloading A Cassette
The camcorder needs to be powered up to load or eject a cassette.
1
OPEN CASSETTE COVER
Turn the power on, then slide the OPEN/EJECT
switch in the direction of the arrow. The
cassette cover releases. Open the cover in the
direction of the arrow until it locks. The holder
opens automatically.
•Do not touch internal components.
2
INSERT/REMOVE TAPE
Insert or remove a tape and press “PUSH
HERE” to close the cassette holder.
•Once the cassette holder is closed, it recedes
automatically. Wait until it recedes
completely before closing the cassette cover.
•When the battery’s charge is low, you may
not be able to close the cover. Do not apply
force. Replace the battery with a fully
charged one before continuing.
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.
●
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.
●
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 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.
