This device 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-HD200U/GY-HD200E/ GY-HD201E) are recorded or played back on this device.

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

•Digital noise may appear during playback due to track- ing errors.

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