notes and safety instructions

NOTES REGARDING THE VIDEO HEAD CLEANING

To ensure normal recording and a clear picture, clean the video heads regularly.

If a square block-shape distorts playback, or only a blue screen is displayed, the video heads may be dirty. If this happens, clean the video heads with a dry type cleaning cassette.

Do not use a wet-type cleaning cassette. It may damage the video heads.

ADJUSTING THE LCD SCREEN

Please rotate the LCD screen carefully as illustrated. Over rotation may cause damage to the inside of the hinge that connects the LCD screen to the camcorder.

1.Open the LCD screen 90 degrees from the camcorder with your finger.

2.Rotate it to the best angle to record or play.

-If you rotate the LCD screen 180 degrees so it is facing forward, you can close the LCD screen with the display facing out.

-This is convenient during playback operations.

Refer to page 31 to adjust brightness and color of the LCD screen.
