Removing the DC cable from the
camcorder
Perform steps 1 and 2 above. Press the power
source PUSH release button (1), and slide the
connecting plate up and take it out (2).
Cautions:
• BEFORE REMOVING THE DC CABLE,
ALWAYS STOP RECORDING OR PLAYBACK
AND TURN THE POWER OFF. If you remove the
DC cable during recording or playback, the tape
will remain wound around the video head drum,
potentially causing damage to the tape.
• Disconnect the camcorder from the AC adapter
if you will not use the camcorder for a long
period of time.
