TAPE DISPLAY

Symptom

Check Point & Correction

TAPE appears in the viewfinder.

§ Have you moved the camcorder or

 

cassette from a cold place to a warm

 

place so that its temperature

 

changed abruptly? If the temperature

 

has changed, remove the cassette

 

and set the CAM/OFF/VIDEO switch

 

to OFF, then wait for about one hour.

 

Remove the cassette and then try to

 

reinsert: remove it several times. If

 

the indication is still shown in the

 

viewfinder, use a cleaning tape to

 

clean the heads and replace the

 

cassette.
