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 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.
