Chapter 2 Playback and Recording
On recording
You cannot record or output EE signals and any
software having copyright protection signals on the
unit. If you start recording protected video and audio
signals, a warning appears on the monitor screen and
the unit stops recording.
During recording, do not change INPUT SELECT
switch setting. If you do so, the unit may mistakenly
recognize that copyright control signals has been input.
On playback
When you play back software having copyright
protected signals on the unit, you may not record or
output to other equipment.
Limitations caused by differences in format
The unit can record and play back tapes recorded in
HDV (1080/60i, 1080/50i) or DVCAM format. It can
also record and play back tapes recorded in DV format
(SP mode).
However, due to differences in format, you may not
play back or edit some tapes affected by recording
conditions of the tape (i.e., a tape originally recorded
in DV format is dubbed in DVCAM format).
The unit cannot input/output, record, or play back a
tape other than 1080/60i or 1080/50i format such as
1080/30F, 1080/25F, 1080/24F, 720/25p, 720/24p
format.
The unit cannot input/output, record, or play back a
tape with 4-channel audio signals in HDV extended
format.
You can play back HDV720/30p format, whereas you
cannot output the video signals from
HDV/DV jack.
For details, see “Compatibility of HDV, DVCAM, and DV
Formats” on page 93.
If a tape has both a portion recorded in HDV/DVCAM
format and one recorded in DV format (SP mode), the
following limitations are applied when you play back
the tape with the unit:
• The image may be distorted and noise may occur at
the point where the recording format changes on the
tape.
• The tape transport control buttons may be disabled
until the tape speed is stabilized.
Note on playback on other equipment
A tape recorded in HDV format with the unit cannot be
played back with the devices not compatible with
HDV1080i format. We recommend confirming the
contents of the tape by playing back the tape with the
unit before playing back it on another video
equipment.
