NOTES:
●It takes a few seconds for the cassette holder to open. Do not apply force.
●If you wait a few seconds and the cassette holder doesn’t open, close the cassette cover and try again.
●Be careful not to get your fingers caught in the holder when it’s closing. If this happens, the holder will open automatically after a few seconds.
●When the camcorder is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm environment, wait a short time before opening the cover.
** To protect valuable recordings . . .
..... slide the erase protection switch on the back of
the tape in the direction of “SAVE”. This prevents this tape from being recorded over. If you decide later that you do want to record on this tape, slide the switch back to “REC” before loading the tape.
