To protect valuable recordings

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.

NOTES:

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.

Before using a new memory card, it is necessary to format the card. ( pg. 30)
