Using this manual

As you read through this manual, buttons and settings on your camcorder are shown in
capital letters.
e.g. Set the POWER switch to CAMERA.
When you carry out an operation, you can hear a beep sound to indicate that the
operation is being carried out.

Note on Cassette Memory

Your camcorder is based on the DV format. You can only use mini DV cassettes with
your camcorder. We recommend that you use a tape with cassette memory

.

The functions which require different operations depending on whether the tape has
the cassette memory or not are:
– END SEARCH (p. 36)
– DATE SEARCH (p. 78)
– PHOTO SEARCH (p. 80)
The functions you can operate only with the cassette memory are:
– TITLE SEARCH (p. 77)
– Superimposing a title (p. 106)
– Labeling a cassette (p. 111)
For details, see page 203.

You see this mark in the introduction to the features that operate only with
cassette memory.

Cassettes with cassette memory are marked by

(Cassette Memory).

Note on TV color systems

TV color systems differ from country to country. To view your recordings on a TV, you
need a NTSC system-based TV.
