Step 2 Inserting a cassette

We recommend using Hi8 video cassettes H.

If you use standard 8 htape, be sure to play back the tape on this camcorder. Your camcorder records in the Digital8 system.

(1) Slide EJECT in the direction of the arrow while pressing the small blue button. The cassette compartment automatically lifts up and opens.

(2) Insert a cassette with its window facing out and the tab on the cassette up.

(3) Close the cassette compartment by pressing the “PUSH” mark on the cassette compartment. The cassette compartment automatically goes down.

Notes

The recording time when you use your Digital8 system camcorder on Hi8/standard 8 tape is half the recording time when using the conventional Hi8/standard 8 system camcorder.

If you use standard 8 tape, be sure to play back the tape on this camcorder. Mosaic pattern noise may appear when you play back standard 8 tape on other VCRs.

Do not press the cassette compartment down. Doing so may cause malfunction.

To prevent accidental erasure

Slide the write-protect tab on the cassette to expose the red mark.
