Make sure the window side is facing out.

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” to close the cassette holder.

Be sure to press only the section labelled “PUSH” 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.

Once the cassette holder is closed, it recedes automatically. Wait until it recedes completely before closing the cassette holder cover.

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

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.
