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.

●Be careful not to get your fingers caught in the holder when it’s closing. If this happens, the holder will open automatically after a few seconds.

●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.

●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.
