To Eject the Cassette
Slide EJECT. After the cassette compartment opens, take out the cassette.
You cannot eject the cassette while C MEMORY appears in the viewfinder because the camcorder is
still writing information to the mini DV cassette-mounted cassette memory (p. 83). In this case, the
cassette compartment automatically lifts up and opens after C MEMORY disappears.
To Prevent Accidental Erasure
Slide and open the tab on the cassette to expose the red mark. If you try to record with the red mark
exposed, the ˇ and 6 indicators flash in the viewfinder, and you cannot record on the tape. To
rerecord on this tape, slide and close the tab to cover the red mark.
