DV Technology
Digital video (DV) is a revolutionary technology
that enables recording and playback of high
quality images with the use of special digital
features previously unavailable with conven-
tional analog formats.
DV and conventional video cassette
tapes
There are two kinds of DV-format video
cassette tapes: the Mini DV cassette and the
larger DV cassette used for extended playback
and recording. This camcorder only operates
with Mini DV cassettes. DV cassettes cannot
be used. Be sure to use Mini DV cassettes with
