•You cannot control the recorder using another device or another recorder of the same model.

•You cannot record date, time, or the contents of the cassette memory onto the disc.

•If you record from a DV format tape with a sound track that is recorded in multiple sampling frequencies (48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 32 kHz), no sound or an unnatural sound will be output when playing back the sampling frequency switch point on the disc.

•In order to use this recorder’s Auto Scene Chaptering function (pages 79, 80), be sure to correctly set the clock on your digital video camera before shooting.

•The recorded picture may be momentarily affected if the picture size of the source image changes, or if there is nothing recorded on the tape.
