● It takes a few seconds for the cassette holder to open. Do
not apply force.
● There may be a delay after you open the cassette holder
cover until the cassette holder opens. Do not use 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.
● Once the cassette holder is closed, it recedes automati-
cally. Wait until it recedes completely before closing 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 13 for information about recording from
the middle of a tape.
