NOTES:

For Digital Dubbing, this camcorder can be connected only to one device at a time. This camcorder can also be used as a recorder.

If “Playback Zoom” (pg. 40), “Playback Special Effects” (pg. 41) or “Snapshot” is attempted during playback, only the original playback image recorded on the tape is output from the DV IN/OUT connector.
