What is the “Digital8 system”?
This video system has been developed to enable digital recording to Hi8 /Digital8
video cassette.
Usable cassette tapes
We recommend using Hi8 /Digital8 video cassettes.
If you use standard 8 tape, be sure to play back the tape on this camcorder. Mosaic
pattern noise may appear when you play back standard 8 tape on other VCRs
(including other DCR-TRV130).
