Notes on Playback/Recording
No compensation for contents of the recording
Contents of the recording cannot be compensated for if recording or playback is not successful due to a malfunction of the unit, video tape, etc.
Copyright precautions
Television programs, films, video tapes, and other materials may be copyrighted. Unauthorized recording of such materials may be contrary to the copyright laws.
On recording
You cannot record any software having copyright protection signals on this unit. If you start recording protected video and audio signals, a warning appears on the monitor screen and the unit stops recording. During recording, do not change the INPUT SELECT switch setting. If you do so, the unit may mistakenly recognize that a copyright control signal has been input.
On playback
When you play back software having copyright protected signals on this unit, you may not be able to copy it onto other equipment.
Limitations caused by differences in format
The unit can record and play back tapes recorded in HDV1080i/DVCAM format. It can also record and play back tapes recorded in DV format (SP mode).
However, due to differences in format, you may not be able to play back or edit some tapes affected by recording conditions of the tape (e.g., a tape originally recorded in DV format is dubbed in DVCAM format). You can play back for HDV 720/30p format, while you cannot output the video signals from HDV/DV jack.
For details, see “Compatibility of HDV, DVCAM and DV Format” on page 68.
If a tape has both a portion recorded in the HDV/ DVCAM format and one recorded in the DV format (SP mode), the following limitations are applied when you play back the tape with this unit:
•The image may be distorted and noise may occur at the point where the recording format changes on the tape.
•The tape transport control buttons may be disabled until the tape speed is stabilized.
Note on playback on other equipment
A tape recorded in the HDV format cannot be played back with the devices not compatible with the HDV 1080i format. We recommend confirming the contents of the tape by playing back the tape before playing back it on another video equipment.
