Playback
This section describes the necessary settings and operations to perform playback
on this unit. The same settings and operations apply whether you are using the
unit as part of an editing system, for dubbing, or as a stand-alone player VCR.
For the necessary connections and settings not covered in this section, see
Chapter 5 “Connections and Settings.”
Usable Cassettes
This unit can use the DVCAM cassettes listed below.
The numbers in each model name indicate the maximum playback time (in
minutes) for each model. For example, the PDV-184ME has a maximum
playback time of 184 minutes.
Other usable cassettes
All consumer DV cassettes and large- and medium-size DVCPRO (25M)
cassettes can also be played back on this unit.
Notes
• If you insert an incorrect type of cassette, it will be automatically ejected.
• 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.
