O Use a cassette adapter (AJ-CS455P) when a mini
DV or DVCAM cassette is to be used.
Note that inserting a mini DV or DVCAM cassette
without the use of a cassette adapter will cause
malfunctioning.
Also note that long-duration mini DV cassettes (80
minutes in the standard mode and 120 minutes in
the LP mode) cannot be used.
O It is not possible to play back tapes which have
been recorded in the LP mode.
O When editing material recorded on a consumer-use
DV or DVCAM cassette, first record the material on
a DVCPRO tape or other tape used by VTRs for
broadcast applications.
O The maximum transport speed of a mini DV or
DVCAM cassette tape is 32a.
O The images may be subject to disturbance during
the slow motion playback of consumer-use DV and
DVCAM cassette tapes.
O From the perspective of protecting consumer-use
DV and DVCAM cassette tapes, minimize the
number of times the tapes are cued up at the same
locations as much as possible.

tapes are used, the maximum time for STILL
TIMER is set to 10 seconds.
