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 labeled 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 packs 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.
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.
NOTES:
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.
