Notes
•When inserting a cassette, hold the back edge of the
cassette in the center and push it until the cassette is
inserted deep into the unit. If you hold the ends, the
cassette may not be loaded properly.
• If the cassette does not load or is loaded only
halfway, eject it once, and then insert it again. In such
a case, if you insert the cassette forcibly, the cassette
may not be loaded properly or malfunctions may
occur.
• It takes a few seconds for the unit to recognize the
cassette and find the proper location on the tape being
loaded.

Notes on Playback/Recording
No compensation for contents of the
recording
Contents of the recording cannot be compensated for if
recording or playback is not successful due to a
malfunction of the unit, video tape, etc.
Copyright precautions
Television programs, films, video tapes, and other
materials may be copyrighted. Unauthorized recording
of such materials may be contrary to the copyright
laws.
On recording
You cannot record or output EE signals to any
software having copyright protection signals on the
unit. If you start recording protected video and audio
signals, a warning appears on the monitor screen and
the unit stops recording.
During recording, do not change INPUT SELECT
switch setting. If you do so, the unit may mistakenly
recognize that a copyright control signal has been
input.
On playback
When you play back software having copyright
protected signals on the unit, you may not copy or
output to other equipment.
Limitations caused by differences in format
The unit can record and play back tapes recorded in
HDV (1080/60i, 1080/50i), DVCAM, or DV format.
However, due to differences in format, you may not
play back or edit some tapes affected by recording
conditions of the tape (i.e., a tape originally recorded
in DV format is dubbed in DVCAM format).
The unit cannot input/output, record, or play back a
tape other than 1080/60i or 1080/50i format such as
1080/30F, 1080/25F, 1080/24F, 720/25p, 720/24p
format.
The unit cannot input/output, record, or play back a
tape with 4-channel audio signals in HDV extended
format.
You can play back HDV720/30p format, while you
cannot output the video signals from HDV/DV jack.
For details, see “Compatibility of HDV, DVCAM, and DV
Formats” on page 68.
