● If you wait a few seconds and the cassette holder does not
open, close the cassette holder cover and try again. If the
cassette holder still does not open, 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.
● Closing the cassette holder cover before the cassette
holder recedes may cause damage to the camcorder.
● Even when the camcorder is switched off, a cassette can
be loaded or unloaded. After the cassette holder is closed
with the camcorder switched off, however, it may not
recede. It is recommended to turn the power on before
loading or unloading.
● When resuming recording, once you open the cassette
holder cover a blank portion will be recorded on the tape or
a previously recorded scene will be erased (recorded over)
regardless of whether the cassette holder came out or not.
See “Recording From The Middle Of A Tape” ( pg. 11).

VIDEO RECORDING (pg. 10)

●When you use the LCD monitor outdoors in direct sunlight, the LCD monitor may be difficult to see. If this happens, use the viewfinder instead.

●The cassette holder cannot be opened unless a power supply is attached.

●There may be a delay after you open the cassette holder cover until the cassette holder opens. Do not use force.

●Once the cassette holder is closed, it recedes automatically. Wait until it recedes completely before closing the cassette holder cover.

●When the Recording Start/Stop button is pressed, it may take a few seconds before actual recording starts. The “T” indicator starts rotating when the camcorder actually starts recording.
