1 OPEN CASSETTE COVER

Turn the power on, then slide the OPEN/EJECT switch in the direction of the arrow. The cassette cover releases. Open the cover in the direction of the arrow until it locks. The holder opens automatically.

• Do not touch internal components.

2 INSERT/REMOVE TAPE

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 cover.

Approximate recording time

Tape	Recording mode
	SP	LP
DVM-30	30 min.	45 min.
DVM-60	60 min.	90 min.

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 cover and try again.

●When the camcorder is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm environment, wait a short time before opening the cover.

●Closing the cassette 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 shooting again after already shooting a scene, a blank portion is recorded on the tape or a previously recorded scene is erased (recorded over) if you open the cassette cover, regardless of whether the cassette holder comes out or not. See page 20 for information about recording from the middle of a tape.

** To protect valuable recordings . . .

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

the tape in the direction of “SAVE”. This prevents this tape from being recorded over. If you decide later that you do want to record on this tape, slide the switch back to “REC” before loading the tape.
