recording format.
• If on a tape there is a point where the audio mode is switched, it is not 
possible to carry out insert editing over a section including that point.

Indicator

Cassette memory indicator The loaded cassette contains a cassette memory.
CL indicator
There is ClipLink log data stored in the cassette 
memory on the loaded cassette.
Caution
With such a cassette, carrying out recording destroys 
the ClipLink log data.
NO EDIT indicator
• The recording format of the tape is DV, or a 
DVCPRO tape is inserted.
Replace the tape with one that has been recorded 
in DVCAM format.
• The recording format selected on this unit is DV 
(SP). In this case, you cannot use the editing 
functions. 
During editing operation
The audio recording mode selected on this unit does 
not coincide with that of the tape.
In this case, set the unit for the same audio recording 
mode as with the tape.
However, If your current purpose is recording only, 
you can use the tape as it is.
