Usable Cassettes
This unit can use the DVCAM cassettes listed below.
The numbers in each model name indicate the maximum recording/playback
time (in minutes) for each model. For example, the PDV-184ME has a
maximum recording/playback time of 184 minutes.
Cassettes usable for playback only
All consumer DV cassettes and large- and medium-size DVCPRO (25 Mbps)
cassettes are usable for playback only.
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.
