Tripod MountingCAUTION

When attaching the camcorder to a tripod, extend its legs to stabilise the camcorder. It is not advised to use small sized tripods. This may cause damage to the unit by falling over.

1 To attach the camcorder to a tripod, align the screw to the mounting socket p on the camcorder. Then tighten the screw clockwise. Some tripods are not equipped with studs.

Loading/Unloading A Cassette

The camcorder needs to be powered up to load or eject a cassette.

1 Slide and hold OPEN/EJECT E 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 HERE” to close the cassette holder.

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

•When the battery’s charge is low, you may not be able to close the cassette holder cover. Do not apply force. Replace the battery with a fully charged one before continuing.

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.

Make sure the window side is facing out.
