●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.

.... 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.
