.... slide the erase protection tab on the back of the

tape in the direction of “SAVE”. This prevents the tape from being recorded over. To record on this tape, slide the tab back to “REC” before loading it.

Be sure to press only the section labeled “PUSH HERE” to close the cassette holder; touching other parts may cause your finger to get caught in the cassette holder, resulting in injury or product damage.

Loading/Unloading A Cassette

The camcorder needs to be powered up to load or eject a cassette.

1 Slide and hold OPEN/EJECT in the direction of the arrow then pull the cassette holder cover open until it locks. The cassette holder opens automatically.

• Do not touch internal components.

2 Insert or remove a tape and press “PUSH HERE” 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’s charge is low, you may not be able to close the cassette holder cover. Do not apply force. Replace the battery with a fully charged one before continuing.

3 Close the cassette holder cover firmly until it locks into place.

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 20 for information about recording from the middle of a tape.

Loosen the Grip Strap if it appears to interfere with the cassette holder cover operation ( pg. 10).
