Trouble Checks

Troubles sometimes are caused by simple “faults” that you can easily correct without
the help of a service technician by first checking a few basic remedies.

Before you call or take your camcorder to an Authorized RCA Camcorder Servicenter,
look below for the type of trouble you are experiencing. Then perform the simple
checks and adjustments listed for that trouble.

• If using the rechargeable battery, it may need

recharging.

• If using the AC adapter/charger, make sure it is

plugged into a working AC outlet.

• Make sure there is a cassette in the camcorder.
• Try ejecting and re-inserting the cassette.
• The cassette tape is broken — try another cassette.
• You have reached the end of the cassette — try

rewinding it.

• Moisture condensation may cause the tape to stick to

the headwheel and damage the headwheel or tape.
Give the camcorder 2 to 3 hours to reach a stable
temperature before re-inserting a cassette.

CAMERA/OFF/VCR switch must be in VCR.

fast-forwarding when the counter reads “0000M”.

continue, or press DISPLAY to turn off memory stop.
