Notes and Hints

Concerning the Power Supply

When the Camcorder has been used for a long time, the Camera body becomes warm, but this is not a malfunction.

If the [CHARGE] Lamp does not light up although the Battery is attached to the AC Adaptor, detach the Battery and reattach it.

Inserting/Removing the Cassette

In the case of using a previously recorded Cassette, you can use the Blank Search Function (p. 22) to find the position where you want to continue recording.

If a new Cassette is inserted, rewind to the beginning of the tape before starting recording.

When inserting the cassette, make sure it faces in the right direction and then push it in until it stops.

When the Cassette Holder is in action, do not touch anything except the [PUSH] mark.
