To protect your recordings from accidental erasure,
slide the red switch on the cassette to the SAVE or
ERASE OFF position (covering the hole). The
camera will automatically go into playback mode if
you load the cassette now.
If you want to record on the cassette again, push
the switch back to the REC or ERASE ON position.
Notes:
• Do not interfere with the compartment while it is
opening or closing automatically.
• Do not leave the cassette in the camera after
use — return it to its case and store it in a cool,
clean, dry place.
• The holes in the back of the cassette are used for
transferring information — do not cover them.
• After loading a cassette, use record search to find
the desired starting point for recording (see
p. 31).
• For futher information, refer to the instructions
provided with the cassette.
