<Checkpoints for consumer-use DV tape playback>

OConsumer-use DV tapes can be used for playback only.

OConsumer-use tapes recorded in the LP mode cannot be played back.

ORecording onto consumer-use tapes is not possible, therefore the recording-related functions are inhibited.

OThe maximum speed at which consumer-use tapes can be forwarded or reversed is 32 times normal tape speed.

OThe still pictures of consumer-use tapes are subject to disturbance.

OIn the interest of protecting the tapes, it is recommended that consumer-use tape cue-up be kept to the minimum extent possible.

OThe maximum time for the STILL TIMER when a consumer-use tape is used has been set to 10 seconds.

When the unit has been left standing in the STILL mode, the standby OFF (half loading) mode will be established after one minute has elapsed.
