Other Information
Tapes
•A power supply must be attached to load or eject a tape.
•When loading a tape, it takes a few seconds for the cassette tape holder open. Never apply force to the holder or door cover as this might result in damage to the camcorder and void the warranty.
•If the cassette tape holder does not open after a few seconds, close the holder door and try again. If it still does not open, turn the camcorder off, then on again.
•If the tape does not load properly, open the cassette tape holder door and fully remove the unit. Wait a few minutes and reinsert it.
•When the camcorder is suddenly moved from a cold environment to a warm environment, wait a short time before opening the cassette tape holder door.
•Closing the cassette tape holder door before the holder comes out may damage the camcorder.
•Even when the camcorder is turned off, a tape can still be loaded or unloaded. After the cassette tape holder is closed with the camcorder switched off, though, it may not recede. Turn the power on before loading or unloading tapes.
•When recording, once the cassette tape holder door is open, a blank portion will be recorded on the tape or a previously recorded scene will be taped over regardless of whether the tape holder came out or not.
