If you have already installed a fully charged battery, you can open the door without external power.
1
OPEN CASSETTE DOOR
Turn on the power, 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
doesn’t 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.
** 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.

• 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 26 for information about recording from the middle of a tape.
