These tapes are exclusively designed for consumer-use DV and DVCAM camera recorders. They can be played using a cassette adapter (optional accessory).

However, bear in mind that long-duration cassette tapes (80 minutes in the standard mode and 120 minutes in the LP mode) cannot be used.

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