Tapes
Consumer-use DV and DVCAM cassettes
(Standard DV and DVCAM cassettes, mini DV and
DVCAM cassettes)
z Use a cassette adapter (AJ-CS455P) when a mini DV or
DVCAM cassette is to be used.
Note that inserting a mini DV or DVCAM cassette without
the use of a cassette adapter will cause malfunctioning.
Also note that long-duration mini DV cassettes (80 minutes
in the standard mode and 120 minutes in the LP mode)
cannot be used.
z It is not possible to play back tapes which have been
recorded in the LP mode.
z When editing material recorded on a consumer-use DV or
DVCAM cassette, first record the material on a DVCPRO
tape or other tape used by VTRs for broadcast
applications.
z The maximum transport speed of a mini DV or DVCAM
cassette tape is 32 k.
z The images may be subject to disturbance during the slow
motion playback of consumer-use DV and DVCAM
cassette tapes.
z From the perspective of protecting consumer-use DV and
DVCAM cassette tapes, minimize the number of times the
tapes are cued up at the same locations as much as
possible.
z When consumer-use DV and DVCAM cassette tapes are
used, the maximum time for STILL TIMER is set to 10
seconds.
It is recommended that tapes bearing the Panasonic
brand be used as the consumer-use DV tapes.
