Precautions for using consumer DV and DVCAM
cassettes
O Use a cassette adapter (AJ-CS455P) when using
mini DV or DVCAM cassette tapes.
Inserting a mini DV or DVCAM cassette tape into
the unit without using a cassette adapter may
cause trouble or malfunctioning.
O Tapes recorded in the LP modes cannot be
played back.
O When editing material recorded on a consumer
DV or DVCAM cassette tape, record the material
onto a DVCPRO tape or onto another broadcast
VTR before use.
O The maximum transport speed of a mini DV or
DVCAM cassette tape is 32x normal tape speed.
O The images may be disrupted when a consumer
DV or DVCAM cassette tape is played back in a
slow motion mode.
O To protect your tapes, refrain as much as
possible from repeatedly cueing up the tapes in
consumer DV or DVCAM cassettes at the same
place.
O When consumer DV or DVCAM cassette tapes
are used, the maximum STILL TIMER time is set
to 10 seconds.
