Tapes
<Note>
For AJ-5P92LP cassette tapes recorded using the DVCPRO (25 Mbps) mode, use a VTR supporting
DVCPRO (25 Mbps) 184 minute tapes.
<Precautions when playing back general consumer DV/DVCAM tapes>
• General consumer tapes recorded in the LP mode cannot be played back.
• When material recorded on a general consumer DV/DVCAM tape is to be edited, either use a
DVCPRO50 (50 Mbps) or DVCPRO (25 Mbps) tape or record the material on another VTR used for
broadcast applications.
• The maximum speed at which general consumer DV/DVCAM tapes can be advanced is 32 times the
normal tape speed.
• The maximum time for STILL TIMER when a general consumer DV/DVCAM tape is used is set to 10
seconds, and the total time during which such a tape may be left standing in the STILL mode is set to
1 minute.
• Cueing up a general consumer DV/DVCAM tape at the same position should be kept to the minimum
in order to protect the tape from damage.
• Noise may be generated on rare occasions during slow playback using a consumer-use DV/DVCAM
tape.

For consumer

use
Align the cassette with the centre of the insertion slot and push it in gently. The cassette tape
is loaded automatically.
These tapes are exclusively used with general consumer DV/DVCAM camera/
recorders.
They can be played back on the unit if a cassette adapter AJ-CS750P (available
as an optional accessory) is used. However, bear in mind that long-playing
consumer cassette tapes (80 minutes in the standard mode; 120 minutes in the
LP mode) cannot be used.
It is recommended that Panasonic’s DV tapes for general consumer DV
applications be used.
Bear in mind that inserting one of these cassette tapes without first installing the
cassette adapter will cause malfunctioning.

Standard playback cassette tapes for consumer DV/DVCAM use.
For playback, select DV or DVCAM as the setup menu item No. 014 (FORMAT
SEL) setting.
Use of Panasonic’s consumer-use DV tapes is recommended.
