Cassettes for the DSR-1/1P
Notes on using cassettes
• Before storing the cassette, rewind the tape to the beginning and be sure
to put the cassette in its storage case, preferably on end instead of flat on
its side. The storage case of a DVCAM cassette is specially designed to
eusure a long-period storage of the tape.
Storing a cassette in any other condition (not rewound, out of its case,
etc.) may cause the video and audio contents to become damaged over
time.
• If the cassette memory connector (contact point) becomes dirty,
connection problems may occur and cause a loss of functions. Remove
away any dust or dirt from this area before using the cassette.
• If the cassette is dropped on the floor or otherwise receives a hard impact,
the tape may become slackened and may not record and or play back
correctly. For instructions on removing tape slack, see next page.
• Follow the instructions on page 39 to insert a cassette, or the DSR-1/1P
may be damaged.
Preventing accidental erasure

recorded contents.
If you insert a cassette into the DSR-1/1P when this switch is set to SAVE,
the DSR-1/1P will not record when you press the REC button.
To enable recording
