REMOVING A CASSETTE
Before removing a cassette, rewind the tape
completely.
To remove a cassette, press the EJECT button. The
cassette will come partially out of the compartment
so you can pull it out.
Important
"Avoid using cassette box fabricated out of
transparent material."
This is to prevent occurrence of any incorrect
operation due to sensor's misdetection.

VIDEO CASSETTE SAFETY TAB
To prevent accidental erasure of recorded material,
remove the safety tab from the lower left corner of
the cassette.
Recording is impossible when the safety tab is
removed.
Notes:
• The TAB indicator lights when a cassette without
its safety tab is loaded.
• To record again on a cassette that has its safety
tab removed, cover the tab hole with tape. In the
TIMER mode, the TIMER indicator will flash on
and off if the cassette is inserted without its safety
tab slot covered or intact.

TAPE LENGTH
The total recording time at each of the three tape
speed modes depends on the length of the tape
used.
Use the table to select the tape length which gives
the best compromise between tape cost, total
recording time, and elapsed time between pictures.
