Step 3 Inserting a cassette

The camcorder can use standard-size and mini-size DVCAM/DV cassettes.

Before inserting a cassette, make sure that no cassette is in the cassette compartment. Inserting a cassette forcibly may damage internal parts of the camcorder.

(1) Install the power source (p. 8).

(2) While sliding OPEN in the direction of the arrow, open the cassette lid.

(3) Insert the cassette with the window facing out and the REC/SAVE switch facing upward. Check for tape slack before inserting the cassette.

[b] Inserting a mini-size cassette
