Notes
If you insert an incorrect type of cassette, it will be automatically ejected.
Although this unit can use DV series consumer cassettes, video or audio noise
may occur on some tapes.
For reliable playback, editing, recording, and storage, use DVCAM cassettes.
Cassettes that have been recorded by a DV-format recorder can be played
back on this unit but cannot be used for recording at editing operation. When
you insert such a cassette into this unit, the NOT EDITABLE indicator lights
up in the display section on the front panel of this unit.
