This unit is a HDV/DV video system format camera recorder. Videocassettes marked with the A symbol can be used.

The following phenomena may occur when tapes recorded on other units (including another GY-HD100) are recorded or played back on this camcorder.

•The transient section between scenes recorded on other units and those recorded on this unit may appear dis- turbed.

•Digital noise may appear during playback due to tracking errors.

•This unit records and plays back in the SP mode. Recording or playback in the LP mode is not possible. (In DV format)

•Due to manufacturing dispersion of tapes, we recom- mend not to record pictures within the first 2 to 3 minutes from the beginning of the tape.

•Before recording important scenes, be sure to perform a test recording and confirm that both video and audio are recorded correctly.

•Recorded video and audio contents are for private use. Other use may infringe on the rights of copyright holders.

•JVC cannot assume liabilities that may derive from the impossibility of normal recording or playback of video or audio due to malfunction of the camcorder or the video- cassette.
