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 (page 49).”
Usable Cassettes
This unit can use the DVCAM cassettes listed below.
The * in each model name is actually “ME” (indicating that a cassette memory
is contained), or “N” (indicating that no cassette memory is contained).
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.

• Although this unit can use DV series consumer cassettes, video or audio noise
may occur on some tapes.
