Notes

•If you insert an incorrect type of cassette, it will be automatically ejected.

•When operating this unit as a player, you can also use DV cassettes on the unit. However, it is the best choice to always use DVCAM cassettes because they are more reliable than DV cassettes whatever your purpose may be: playback, editing, or long-period storage of recordings.

•Cassettes that have been recorded by a DV-format recorder can be played back on this unit but cannot be used for recording at editing operation. When you insert such a cassette into this unit, the NO EDIT indicator lights up in the display section on the front panel of this unit.
