OPEN/EJECT PUSH Mastering the Basics Loading a Cassette E Only use videocassettes marked with the D logo.* Loading and unloading 1. Make sure that you have attached a power source. 2. Slide the OPEN / EJECT 5 switch (on the bottom of the camcorder) to release the cassette compartment cover. • Pull the cover fully open (while holding the button) and wait a couple of seconds for the cassette compartment to open automatically. • The confirmation beep sounds when the cassette cover fully opens. 3. Load or unload the cassette. • Insert the cassette gently with the window facing the grip belt, and the REC/SAVE tab up. • Remove the cassette by pulling it straight out. 4. Press the P mark on the compartment until it clicks, and wait for it to close. 5. Click the cover back into place. * D is a trade mark. Notes: • Do not interfere with the cassette compartment while it is opening or closing automatically, and do not attempt to close the cover until the cassette compartment has fully retracted. • After loading a cassette, use record search ( 39) to find the point where you want to start recording. • Be careful not to get your fingers caught in the cassette compartment cover. • Do not leave the cassette in the camcorder after use - return it to its case and store it in a cool, clean, dry place. • When you turn the camcorders' power on, v flashes in the display until you load a cassette. • With some types of tapes, the remaining tape display may not give an accurate 18 reading ( 150).
