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 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 comes out 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 page 19 for information about recording from the middle of a tape.
