Consumer-use DV and DVCAM cassettes

(Standard DV and DVCAM cassettes, mini DV and DVCAM cassettes)

•Use a cassette adapter (AJ-CS455P) when a mini DV or DVCAM cassette is to be used.

Note that inserting a mini DV or DVCAM cassette without the use of a cassette adapter will cause malfunctioning. Also note that long-duration mini DV cassettes (80 minutes in the standard mode and 120 minutes in the LP mode) cannot be used.

Note that you cannot record to the tape when using the cassette adapter AJ-CS750.

•It is not possible to play back tapes which have been recorded in the LP mode.

•When editing material recorded on a consumer-use DV or DVCAM cassette, first record the material on a DVCPRO tape or other tape used by VTRs for broadcast applications.

•The maximum transport speed of a mini DV or DVCAM cassette tape is 32x.

•The images may be subject to disturbance during the slow motion playback of consumer-use DV and DVCAM cassette tapes.

•From the perspective of protecting consumer-use DV and DVCAM cassette tapes, minimize the number of times the tapes are cued up at the same locations as much as possible.

•When consumer-use DV and DVCAM cassette tapes are used, the maximum time for STILL TIMER is set to 20 seconds.

•The audio sampling rate recorded to consumer DV tapes is 48 kHz. When using the IEEE1394 interface board (option: AJ-YAD255G), however, sampling rates of 44.1 kHz and 32 kHz can be recorded to a consumer DV tape during 1394 input only.

Do not stick your finger into the insertion slot.

•Control from a controller or computer having a REC/PAUSE command (when using the IEEE1394 interface board AJ-YAD255G) enables recording in connected segments. When using a consumer DV tape, however, the video and audio in the frame before and after the connection point may be distorted in some cases.

It is recommended that tapes bearing the Panasonic brand be used as the consumer-use DV tapes.

When lifting the unit, never stick your hand into the insertion slot.
