●A cassette holder can’t be opened unless a power supply is attached.
●There may be a delay after you slide EJECT until the holder opens. Do not use force.
●The tape’s remaining time is displayed in the viewfinder as shown.
●”TAPE END“ appears when the tape reaches its end, and the power goes off automatically if left in this condition for 5 minutes. ”TAPE END“ also appears when a cassette whose tape is already at its end is loaded.
●If the Record–Standby mode continues for 5 minutes, the camcorder’s power shuts off automatically. Set the power switch to POWER OFF, and then back to CAMERA to turn the camcorder on again.
●If you’re recording on a cassette from the middle, use the RETAKE function (☞ pg. 15) to find the end of the last recording so you don’t erase any of it.
●The LENS COVER warning blinks for about 5 seconds when the camcorder is turned on, whether the cover is open or closed.
