Insert a cassette tape
1. Make sure the camcorder is connected to a
power supply.
2. Adjust the viewfinder.
3. With the camcorder set to
A
(automatic
record), slide the EJECT switch until the
cassette tape holder opens. Don’t force the
camcorder open.
4. Insert a tape with the tape wheel facing up and
the tape window facing out.
Notes:
• Make sure the tape is not slack when
loading the cassette tape. If there is any
slack, turn the wheel on the cassette
tape in the direction of the arrow to
take up the slack.
• Make sure the Erase Protection tab is in
the position that allows recording. If
not, slide the tab. Some tapes have
removable tabs. If the tab has been
removed, cover the hole with adhesive
tape.
5. Push on the area marked CLOSE until the
cassette tape holder locks into place. (PAUSE
appears in the viewfinder.)
Notes:
• You can’t open the cassette tape holder
unless a power supply is attached.
• The cassette tape holder can’t be
opened while the camcorder is in the
record mode.
