Precautions when using a Mini DV cassette

•Be sure to use only Mini DV cassettes with the imark.

•This camcorder can record and play back using Mini DV cassettes with cassette memory, but it cannot record or play back this memory.

•To record in LP mode, use a Mini DV cassette labelled for use with LP mode.

•Do not insert anything into the holes on the bottom of the Mini DV cassette or block them in any way.

•Avoid placing the Mini DV cassette in an area conducive to dust or mold.

•Do not place the Mini DV cassette near magnetic sources such as electric clocks or magnetic devices as this may adversely affect recorded material.

•When a previously recorded Mini DV cassette is used again for recording, the previously recorded material will be automatically erased.

•The Mini DV cassette will not operate if inserted in the wrong direction.

•Do not repeatedly insert and eject the Mini DV cassette without running the tape as this may cause uneven tape winding and damage the tape.

•Do not place the Mini DV cassette in direct sunlight, near strong heat sources, or in areas with excessive steam.

•Store the Mini DV cassette in its case and stand it in an upright position.

•If the tape is not properly wound, rewind the tape.

•Do not drop the Mini DV cassette or subject it to excessive shocks.

To protect recordings against acciden- tal erasure

Slide the protect tab on the rear of the Mini DV cassette to the “SAVE” position.

Erasure protect tab

To record over a previously recorded tape, slide the protect tab to the “REC” position.

Copyright Protection

The digital VCR has far superior recording and playback ability than the traditional analog VCR, and in order to protect digital video software copyrights, a system for managing copyrights has been established. Some digital video recording with pre-recorded copyright protection signals can still be played back on this camcorder. If you play a digital video recording that has a copyright protection signal on video equipment with a DV terminal and attempt to record a copy of that software on this camcorder, “COPYRIGHT PROTECTED.” appears on the screen and the recording is disabled.
