Tapes

Consumer-use DV and DVCAM cassettes

(Standard DV and DVCAM cassettes, mini DV and DVCAM cassettes)

O Use a cassette adapter (AJ-CS455P) when a mini DV or DVCAM cassette is to be used.

Note that inserting a mini DV or DVCAM cassette without the use of a cassette adapter will cause malfunctioning.

Also note that long-duration mini DV cassettes (80 minutes in the standard mode and 120 minutes in the LP mode) cannot be used.

O It is not possible to play back tapes which have been recorded in the LP mode.

O When editing material recorded on a consumer-use DV or DVCAM cassette, first record the material on a DVCPRO tape or other tape used by VTRs for broadcast applications.
