Notes on the cassette
When affixing a label on the cassette
Be sure to affix a label only on the locations as illustrated below [a] so as not to cause
malfunction of your camcorder.
After using the cassette
Rewind the tape to the beginning, put the cassette in its case, and store it in an upright
position.
When the cassette memory function does not work
Reinsert a cassette. The gold-plated connector of mini DV cassettes may be dirty or
dusty.
Cleaning gold-plated connector
If the gold-plated connector on the cassette is dirty or dusty, the remaining tape
indicator is sometimes not displayed correctly, and you may not be able to operate
functions using cassette memory. Clean up the gold-plated connector with a cotton-
wool swab, about every 10 times ejection of a cassette. [b]
