it off. It is important to remember to turn the power off when you are not
recording in order to save the batteries' energy.

The PLAY indicator will light. At this time the operator will be able to
view the video already recorded on the tape through the viewfinder or
optional video monitor connected to the VCR. When viewing the video through
the camera viewfinder, the audio will be heard through a headset.
When
using the optional video monitor, the operator can hear the audio through an
optional audio monitor.
c. The RECORD button pressed together with the PLAY button will start
the recording.
WARNING:
If you press the PLAY button before the

mode and recording will not start. After pressing the
RECORD and PLAY button together, the RECORD and PLAY
indicator will light.
To stop recording, press the
STOP button.
When the RECORD button is pressed by

monitor, but is not being recorded.

are being recorded on the tape.
