Checking the tape for slack
Pressing in the reels lightly, turn them gently with
your fingers in the directions shown below. If the
reels will not move, there is no slack to adjust.
Unloading a cassette
With the power supply on, press the EJECT
button to open the cassette compartment lid. Then
take out the cassette. If you are not going to insert
another cassette, close the cassette compartment
lid.
Even if the battery is exhausted and the VTR
stops, it is possible to take out the cassette and
close the cassette compartment lid if the
remaining battery voltage is about 10.5 V or
more. However, when the battery voltage is low,
do not repeat the unloading operation. If you
repeat the operation, the power may be turned off
during the ejection operation and you may not be
able to continue the operation.
Note
When you do not intend to use the camcorder for a long
time, take out the cassette to protect the tape and turn off
the power.
Unloading a cassette manually (manual eject)
When you cannot unload a cassette even if you
press the EJECT button, take out the cassette
manually as illustrated below.
