* To Protect Valuable Recordings . . .
.... slide the erase protection tab on the back of
the tape in the direction of "SAVE". This
prevents the tape from being recorded over.
To record on this tape, slide the tab back to
"REC" before loading it.
NOTES:
It takes a few seconds for the cassette holder to open. Do not apply force.
If you wait a few seconds and the cassette holder does not open, close the cassette holder cover and try
again. If the cassette holder still does not open, turn the camcorder off then on again.
If the tape does not load properly, open the cassette holder cover fully and remove the cassette. A few
minutes later, insert it again.
When the camcorder is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm environment, wait a short time before
opening the cassette holder cover.
Closing the cassette holder cover before the cassette holder comes out may cause damage to the camcorder.
Even when the camcorder is switched off, a cassette can be loaded or unloaded. After the cassette holder is
closed with the camcorder switched off, however, it may not recede. It is recommended to turn the power on
before loading or unloading.
When resuming recording, once you open the cassette holder cover a blank portion will be recorded on the
tape or a previously recorded scene will be erased (recorded over) regardless of whether the cassette holder
came out or not. See page 23 for information about recording from the middle of a tape.
