Loading/Unloading A Cassette
The camcorder needs to be powered up to load or eject a cassette.
1Slide and hold OPEN/EJECT in the direction of the arrow, then pull the cassette holder cover open until it locks.
2Insert or remove a tape and press “PUSH” to close cassette holder.
•Be sure to press only the section labeled “PUSH” to close the cassette holder.
•Once the cassette holder is closed, it recedes automatically. Wait until it recedes completely before closing the cassette holder cover.
•When the battery pack’s charge is low, you may not be able to close the cassette holder cover. Do not apply force. Replace the battery pack with a fully charged one or use AC power before continuing.
Notes:
•If you wait a few seconds and the cassette holder does not open, close the cassette holder cover and try again. Turn the camcorder off then on again.
•If the tape does not load properly, open the cassette holder cover fully and remove the cassette. A few minutes later, insert it again.
•When the camcorder is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm environment, wait a short time before opening the cassette holder cover.
