Notes on recording/ playback

Copyright precautions

On recording

You cannot record any software having copyright protection signals on this VCR. If you start recording protected video and audio signals, a warning message appears on the monitor screen and the VCR stops recording.

For DSR-30P only: If you record a programme using timer, that is encoded with copyright protection signals, the VCR will continue recording but the video and audio signals will not be recorded on tape.

On playback

When you play back software having copyright protection signals on this VCR, you may not be able to copy it onto other equipment.

Limitations caused by the difference in format

This VCR can record, play back and edit the tapes recorded in DVCAM format. It can also play back the tapes recorded in DV format (SP mode). However, due to the difference in format, you may not be able to record 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, refer to “Compatibility of DVCAM and DV format” on page 58.

No compensation for contents of the recording

Contents of the recording cannot be compensated for if recording or playback is not made due to a malfunction of the VCR, video tape, etc.
