Troubleshooting (Q&A)
Other types of problems
Q1: The cassette tape cannot be ejected.
A1: Is power being supplied?
Has the AC adapter been plugged in or
the battery inserted properly?
When the power is supplied, the cassette
can be ejected without setting the
POWER switch to ON.
Q2: Ejecting the cassette tape is the only
operation which can be performed.
A2-1: Has any condensation formed?
If condensation forms, ejecting the
cassette tape is the only operation which
can be performed. Wait until the
condensation dries up. (See page 54)
A2-2: When the cassette holder is closed
immediately after opening (by sliding the
EJECT switch), operations other than
eject may not be possible.
If this does happen, slide the EJECT
switch to open the cassette holder once
again, then close the holder after ensuring
that the cassette mechanism has
completed the eject operation.
Q3: The remote control unit does not work.
A3-1: Has the battery in the remote control unit
run down?
If the remote control unit fails to operate
even when it is operated near the remote
control sensor of the camera recorder, it
means that the button battery has run
down.
Replace it with a new one. (See page 20)
A3-2: Do the remote control settings match
properly?
If the [REMOTE] settings of the remote
control unit and camera recorder do not
match, the remote control unit will not
work even when it is operated.
(See page 20)
Q4: A rattling sound is heard when the
camera recorder is tilted toward the
front or back.
A4: When the VCR mode is established or the
power switch is at OFF, a rattling sound
may be heard from the camera unit due to
its structure. This is not indicative of
malfunctioning.
Playback-related problems
(audio)
Q1: No playback sound is heard from the
camera recorder’s speaker.
A1: Has the camera recorder’s volume level
been set too low?
In the VCR mode, press the AUDIO
MON/VAR button “+” to increase the
volume. (See page 15)
Q2: More than one recorded stream of
sound is heard.
A2: Has MIX been selected as the setting for
the 12-bit AUDIO item on the setting
menu PLAYBACK FUNCTIONS screen?
(See page 41)
If audio dubbing editing is performed on a
tape recorded with 12-bit selected as the
setting for the AUDIO REC item on the
setting menu RECORDING SETUP
screen, the sound heard during the
recording and the sound recorded later
will be heard together. It is also possible
to listen to each stream of sound
separately. (See page 42)
Q3: When audio dubbing is performed, the
original sound is erased.
A3: When audio dubbing is performed for a
part which was shot with 16-bit selected
as the setting for the AUDIO REC item on
the setting menu RECORDING SETUP
screen, the original sound will be erased.
Use the 12-bit setting during shooting.
