If a tape has both a portion recorded in HDV/DVCAM format and one recorded in DV format (SP mode), the following limitations are applied when you play back the tape with the 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.
Note on playback on other equipment
A tape recorded in HDV format using the unit cannot be played back with the devices not compatible with HDV1080i format. We recommend you to play back the tape for checking the contents before you actually play back the tape on other video equipment.
Installing the Unit Vertically
Put the unit into the supplied rack as illustrated below. You can install it either standing on its left side or on its right side.
Align the F on the unit with the f on the rack.
Notes
•Be sure to use the supplied rack. Without the rack, the unit may topple over and may be damaged or may cause injury.
•Install the unit on a flat place.
•When inserting a cassette, hold the unit until it is loaded into the unit. Otherwise the cassette may fall out and the tape may be damaged.
For details on inserting a cassette, see “Notes on Power Supply and Video Cassettes” on page 20.
