• If you insert an incorrect type of cassette, it will be automatically ejected.
• Although this unit can use DV series consumer cassettes, video or audio noise
may occur on some tapes.
For reliable playback, editing, recording, and storage, use DVCAM cassettes.
• 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 NOT EDITABLE indicator lights
up in the display section on the front panel of this unit.
