To attach the
camcorder to a tripod,
align the direction stud
and screw to the
mounting socket and
stud hole on the
camcorder. Then
tighten the screw
clockwise.

● Some tripods are not

equipped with studs.

The camcorder needs to be powered up to load
or eject a cassette.

1

Slide and hold OPEN/EJECT in the direction

of the arrow, then pull the cassette holder cover
open until it locks. The cassette holder opens
automatically.

● Do not touch internal components.

2

Insert or remove a tape and press “PUSH

HERE” to close the cassette holder.

● Be sure to press only the section labelled “PUSH

HERE” to close the cassette holder; touching
other parts may cause your finger to get caught in
the cassette holder, resulting in injury or product
damage.

● Once the cassette holder is closed, it recedes

automatically. Wait until it recedes completely
before closing the cassette holder cover.

● When the battery pack’s charge is low, you may

not be able to close the cassette holder cover. Do
not apply force. Replace the battery pack with a
fully charged one or use AC power before
continuing.

3

Close the cassette holder cover firmly until it

locks into place.

To protect valuable recordings
Slide the erase protection tab on the back of the
tape in the direction of “SAVE”. This prevents the
tape from being recorded over. To record on this
tape, slide the tab back to “REC” before loading
it.

NOTES:

● 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.
