INSERTION AND REMOVAL OF CASSETTES
Before inserting or removing a cassette, be sure
to connect the power source. When a power
source is connected, the cassette can be ejected
and removed whether the power is on or off.
■ Insertion

and the cassette door will open automatically.
CAUTION: Be careful not to catch your fingers
between the cassette door and the camera/
recorder as it could cut you.
NOTE: Cassette cannot be inserted or ejected
unless the LCD monitor is open.
3. Insert a cassette so the transparent window is
toward you and the arrow toward the cassette
holder. Slide the cassette into cassette holder
as far as it will go.

Press the section of the door marked "PUSH
LOCK" until a click is heard.
Be sure that you push the cassette door
marked "PUSH LOCK" to close the door.
Otherwise, the door will not close and the

damage.
NOTE: If "TAPE" flashes in the viewfinder or LCD
monitor, remove the cassette and check that the
tape is not damaged, is not slack or no dust
adheres to it, etc. After making sure that there is
no abnormality, reinsert the cassette. If "TAPE"
reappears, see "TROUBLESHOOTING" on page

8 mm Video Cassette
An 8 mm Video Cassette has a record-protect
tab on the side of the cassette that can be slid
to prevent accidental erasure of recorded
material.
To prevent accidental erasure,
slide the record-protect tab in
the direction of the arrow until
the tab is completely visible.
To record on the cassette
again, slide the record-protect
tab in the direction of the
arrow. The tab will disappear
behind the cassette case.
NOTE: After unpacking, it is recommended to fast forward tape to its middle and then rewind it
before recording with the camera for the first time.
