<Cautions when playing back consumer DV tapes and DVCAM tapes>

Consumer DV tapes and DVCAM tapes can be used for playback only.

Consumer DV tapes which have been recorded in the LP mode cannot be played back.

When materials which have been recorded on consumer DV tapes or DVCAM tapes are to be edited, record them onto a DVCPRO tape or tape of any other broadcasting VTR for use.

Recordings cannot be made on consumer DV tapes and DVCAM tapes: this means that all functions related to recording, REC operation, editing selection and execution, TAPE/EE switching and other such operations are prohibited.

The maximum transport speed for consumer DV tapes and DVCAM tapes is 32 times the normal tape speed.

The maximum time for the STILL TIMER when consumer DV tapes or DVCAM tapes are used is set to 10 seconds, and the total STEP FWD time when the machine has been left standing in the STILL status is set to 1 minute.

Slow-motion playback of consumer DV tapes and DVCAM tapes is not possible.

In order to protect your tapes, it is recommended that repeated cue-up in the same location on a consumer DV tape or DVCAM tape be avoided as far as possible.

Finally, check out the cautionary items for setup menu item No. 108 “FORMAT SEL”.
