shipping. However, unseen damage may have occurred
during shipping. It is strongly recommended to test dive

DV tape and a Memory Stick. Remove eyecup from camcorder.
2) Remove rear plate by sliding both LATCH LOCKS in and hold, then rotate
REAR LATCHES down and forward.

TRAY.
4) Press the release button down and release the CAMERA TRAY and allow it
to slide backward out of the housing.
5) Place the camcorder on the CAMERA TRAY and secure with the
MOUNTING SCREW.
