Concerning the Power Supply
• When the Camcorder has been used for a long time,
the Camera body becomes warm, but this is not a
malfunction.
• If the [CHARGE] Lamp does not light up although
the Battery is attached to the AC Adaptor, detach the
Battery and reattach it.
Inserting/Removing the Cassette
• In the case of using a previously recorded Cassette,
you can use the Blank Search Function (p. 24) to
fi
nd
the position where you want to continue recording.
• If a new Cassette is inserted, rewind to the beginning
of the tape before starting recording.
• When inserting the cassette, make sure it faces in
the right direction and then push it in until it stops.
• When the Cassette Holder is in action, do not touch
anything except the [PUSH] mark.
• When closing the Cassette Compartment Cover, do
not get anything caught in the cover, such as a cable
of an optional stereo microphone (PV-GS15 Only).
