Consumer-use DV and DVCAM cassettes (Standard DV and DVCAM cassettes, mini DV and DVCAM cassettes)

zUse 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.

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

zWhen 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.

zThe maximum transport speed of a mini DV or DVCAM cassette tape is 32k.

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

zFrom 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.

zWhen consumer-use DV and DVCAM cassette tapes are used, the maximum time for STILL TIMER is set to 10 seconds.

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

<Notes on cassette insertion>

zSet the cassette level with the cassette slit and insert straight.

zDo not put your hand in the cassette slit.

zInsert an M-cassette between the left/right M-cassette guides.

zIf the cassette slit is exposed to the strong direct rays of the sun, a malfunction in the tape travel may occur.
