Notes on titles

While the title is displayed, the picture does not fade in or out.

You cannot superimpose a title to a blank portion of the tape.

The titles you superimposed are displayed by only using the DV format video equipment with index titler function.

When you are searching the tape using the other video equipment, the portion of the tape you superimpose the title may be detected as an index signal.

Notes on the cassettes

If you use a cassette tape set to prevent accidental erasure, you cannot superimpose the title. Slide the protect tab so that the red portion is not visible.

You can superimpose about 11 to 20 titles in one cassette, if one title consists of about 5 characters.

If the tape has too many index signals and photo data, you may not be able to superimpose a title because the memory is full.
