1)When the unit is used as a recorder, the recording format is determined by the [ REC MODE] setting in the [IN/OUT REC] menu if the input signal format is DVCAM or DV.

2)If you duplicate a tape when the unit is set to DVCAM to be used as a recorder, the time code format of the duplicated tape will be partially different from the time code format specified as DVCAM (note, however, this does not affect editing accuracy in special cases).

3)The unit cannot switch between LOCK MODE and UNLOCK MODE. AUDIO MODE complies with input signals.

Notes

On the unit, HDV signals input from an i.LINK connection cannot be down converted to DVCAM(DV) for recording.

If you use the tapes described in 2) above for editing, you may encounter function limitations regardless of the player and recorder formats.

Some DV video equipment may play back a DVCAM-formatted tape, however the contents cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, even though you use a proper DVCAM-formatted tape for playback, and the unit dubs and creates a DVCAM-formatted tape, the time code may be partially different from the time code format specified as DVCAM on other DV video equipment.

You cannot use the unit to record video and audio recorded with copyright protection signals. If you try to record such video or audio materials, the message “Cannot record due to copyright protection.” appears on the LCD monitor.
