When the AJ-YAD755G digital video interface board is used, audio signals can be recorded at a rate of 44.1 kHz or 32 kHz on a consumer-use tape only when SDTI/1394 has been selected for the input signal.

O During recording on a consumer-use DV tape, scenes can be recorded with continuity between frames by exercising control from the controller or personal computer (when the AJ-YAD755G digital video interface board is used) which has the REC/PAUSE command.

However, in this case, the video and sound for the one frame before and after the continuity point may be disturbed.

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

L cassette size

Align the center of the cassette with the center of the insertion slot, and press it in gently.
