Closing the LCD monitor while the cassette holder is still open may cause damage to the LCD monitor.

The cassette holder can’t be opened unless a power supply is attached.

Make sure that the tape is not slack when loading the cassette. If there is any slack, turn the gear on the cassette in the direction of the arrow to take up the slack.

Make sure the Erase Protection tab is in the position that allows recording. If not, slide the tab. Some cassettes have removable tabs. If the tab has been removed, cover the hole with adhesive tape.

The cassette holder cannot be opened while the camcorder is in the record mode.
