Protecting Tapes from Accidental Erasure To protect your recordings from accidental erasure, slide the tab on the cassette to the left. (This switch position is usually labeled E SAVE or ERASE OFF.) REC REC If you load a protected cassette in CAMERA SAVE SAVE mode, the message "THE TAPE IS SET FOR ERASURE PREVENTION" appears for approx. 4 seconds and v starts flashing. If you wish to record on that cassette, slide the tab back to the right. Cassette Handling Precautions ❍ Rewind tapes after use. If the tape becomes slack and damaged, it may cause picture and sound distortion. ❍ Return cassettes in the case and store them upright. ❍ Do not leave the cassette in the camcorder after use. ❍ Do not use cassettes with spliced tapes or nonstandard cassettes as they may damage the camcorder. ❍ Do not insert anything into the small holes of the cassette, or cover them with cellophane tape. ❍ Handle cassettes with care. Do not drop or subject them to severe impact as this may damage the cassettes. ❍ Rewind tapes from time to time if they are stored for a long time. ❍ With cassettes equipped with a memory function, metal plated terminals may become dirty with use and the cassette's memory function may not work properly. Clean the terminals with a cotton swab after about 10 times of loading/unloading. Mastering the Basics 23
