*There are two types of mini DV cassettes: with cassette memo_T and without cassette memory. Cassettes with cassette memory have the Clll (Cassette Memory) mark.

We recommend you to use cassette with cassette memory.

IC memory is mounted on this type of cassette. Your camcorder can read and write data such as dates of recording or titles, etc. to this memory.

The functions using the cassette memory require successive signals recorded on the

tape. If the tape has a blank portion at tile beginning or between recorded portions,

titles may not be displayed properly or the search functions may not work properly. Perform the following to prevent a blank portion from being made on the tape.

Press END SEARCt I to go to the end of the recorded portion before you begin the

next recording if you operate the following:

You have changed tile cassette while recording.

You have played back the tape.

You have used tile edit search function.

If there is a blank portion or discontinuous signal on your tape, re-record fl-om the beginning to the end of tile tape as described above.

The same result may occur when you record using a digital video camera recorder without a cassette memory function on a tape recorded by one with the cassette memory function.
