Copyright precautions
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, if you change the INPUT SELECT selector setting, the unit may mistakenly recognize that a copyright protected 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 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).
For details, see “Compatibility of DVCAM and DV Format” on page 76 (GB).
If a tape has both a portion recorded in the 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.
