We recommend using Hi8 /Digital8 video cassettes.

(2) Open the lid of the cassette compartment, and press EJECT. The cassette
compartment opens automatically.
(3) Insert a cassette with its window facing out and the write-protect tab on the
cassette up.
(4) Close the cassette compartment by pressing the
mark on the cassette
compartment. The cassette compartment automatically goes down.
(5) Close the lid of the cassette compartment.
To eject a cassette
Follow the procedure above, and eject the cassette in step 3.
Notes
•Do not press the cassette compartment down. Doing so may cause malfunction.
•Your camcorder records pictures in the Digital8 system.
• The recording time when you use your camcorder is half of indicated time on Hi8
tape. If you select the LP mode in the menu settings, 3/4 of indicated time on Hi8
tape.
•If you use standard 8 tape, be sure to play back the tape on this camcorder. Mosaic
pattern noise may appear when you play back standard 8 tape on other camcorders
(including other DCR-TRV120/TRV320).
•The cassette compartment may not be closed when you press any part of the lid other
than the mark.
•Do not pick up your camcorder by holding the lid of the cassette compartment.
To prevent accidental erasure
Slide the write-protect tab on the cassette to expose the red mark.
