CAUTIONS
Insert the cassette
only one way with the
tape wheel facing up
and the tape window
facing out. The
cassette should slide
easily into the holder.
Do not force the
cassette.
Never try to open the
door by prying as you
could damage the
camcorder.
Cassette Care and Storage
When you are finished with a cassette,
rewind it, remove it from the
camcorder, and label it.
Store cassettes vertically in their
protective cases at normal room
temperatures. Do not leave your
camcorder or cassettes in a car or
outdoors for an extended period.
Excessive heat or cold might damage
your cassettes.
Keep the cassette away from strong
magnetic fields such as electric motors
and other devices.
Insert and Remove Cassettes
Keep dust from entering the cassette
compartment. All dust is abrasive and
causes excessive wear on the tape and
the camcorder’s recording or playback
heads.
Do not use cassettes with damaged or
spliced tape.
Do not use a cassette if it has been
damaged or exposed to moisture. The
tape might jam and/or damage your
camcorder.
Before inserting a cassette, turn the tape
wheel on the side of the cassette in the
direction shown to remove any slack in
the tape.
1. Open the LCD monitor at least 60˚
before opening the cassette holder.
2. Slide EJECT. The cassette holder
opens automatically.
3. Insert the cassette with the tape wheel
facing up and tape window facing out.
