Perform step 1 above, then take out the cassette.

Cautions:

•Be careful not to get your fingers caught in the cassette holder.

•Do not apply force to the cassette holder except when pressing the Wmark to close it.

•Do not tilt the camcorder or hold it upside down when you are inserting or removing a cassette. It may damage the tape.

•Remove the cassette if you will not use the camcorder for a long period of time.

•If you do not correctly close the cassette holder in step 3, the cassette protection mechanism of the camcorder might eject the cassette. If this happens, repeat the insertion procedure.

•Do not attempt to pick up the camcorder by the cassette compartment door.

Notes:

•If the battery power is too low, you may not be able to eject the cassette. Replace the battery pack with a fully charged one.
