After inserting the cassette, close the cassette holder
solidly by pressing on the “PUSH” indication on the
holder. Unless the cassette holder is closed solidly,
the tape will not be loaded and the tape operation
buttons will not function. If you find the tape
operation buttons inoperable, press on the “PUSH”
indication again to make sure that the cassette holder
is solidly closed.
Do not insert cassette backside front.
Do not insert cassette sideways.

Notes
Turn the power on and then insert or eject the
cassette.
When inserting a mini-size cassette, confirm the
cassette is under the lock (see the above figure), and
then close the cassette holder. If the cassette is not
inserted fully under the lock, a stopper will prevent
the cassette holder from closing when you press
down on it.
Internal parts of the camcorder may become bent or
otherwise damaged if you attempt to close the
cassette holder after inserting a mini-size cassette in
the wrong direction (such as with the cassette turned
backside front so the reel holes face the cassette
holder window or with the cassette turned sideways
so that a short side enters first).
If
CL
appears in the display window when the
cassette is loaded, it means that data has already been
recorded into the cassette memory. If you record
under this condition whether the ClipLink function is
available or not, the existing cassette memory data
will be overwritten. To avoid this, insert a new
cassette.
