Notes on Power Supply and Video Cassettes
Usable cassettes
We recommend you to use a digital master cassette
(PHDVM-63DM) and a Mini-DV/DVCAM cassette
for recording in the HDV/DV format.
We recommend you to use a Mini-DVCAM cassette,
or digital master cassette (PHDVM-63DM) for
recording in the DVCAM format.
Cassette memory
Some Mini-DV and Mini-DVCAM cassettes have the
cassette memory 
 mark.  This unit, however, does
not support cassette memory.
To save a recording
To prevent accidental erasure of a recording, slide in
the REC/SAVE switch on the cassette so that the red
portion becomes visible. To record on a tape, slide out
the switch so that the red portion is hidden.
