General Maintenance
TAPE DISPLAY
Symptom Check Point & Correction
Tape appears in the viewfinder. Have you moved the camcorder or
cassette from a cold place to a warm place
so that its temperature changed abruptly?
If the temperature has changed, remove
the cassette and set the CAM/OFF/VIDEO
switch to OFF, then wait for about one hour
and remove it several times. If the
indication is still shown in the viewfinder,
use a cleaning tape to clean the heads and
replace the cassette.
