Inserting and Removing Cassettes 
A power source must be connected before inserting or removing cassettes. Once 
connected cassettes can be inserted or removed whether the CAMERA/OFF/VIDEO 
switch is on or off. 
Inserting a Cassette 
1. Slide the EJECT switch in the direction of the arrow. The cassette door opens 
automatically. 
2. Place the cassette in the cassette holder so that the transparent window faces away 
from the body of the camera/recorder and the sprockets toward the body of the 
camera/recorder. 
 
3. Push the cassette holder, which is embossed PUSH on the left hand side, until it 
"clicks" into place. The camera/recorder automatically closes. 
Caution: Be sure that you push the cassette holder embossed PUSH to close the holder. 
Otherwise, the holder will not click into place and the tape may be slack which could lead to 
damage. 
 
Note: If EJECT or TROUBLE flashes in the viewfinder, remove the cassette and check that 
the tape is not damaged, is not slack or no dust adheres to it, etc. After making sure that 
there is no abnormality, reinsert the cassette. If EJECT or TROUBLE reappears, see 
"Troubleshooting" on page 46. 
Removing a Cassette 
Slide the EJECT switch in the direction of the arrow. The cassette door opens 
automatically. Remove the cassette.
