Digital Video Cassette Recorder AJ-

• 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.
Note that you cannot record to the tape when using the
cassette adapter AJ-CS750.

• It is not possible to play back tapes which have been

recorded in the LP mode.

• 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.

• The maximum transport speed of a mini DV or DVCAM

cassette tape is 32x.

• The images may be subject to disturbance during the

slow motion playback of consumer-use DV and DVCAM
cassette tapes.

• 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.

• When consumer-use DV and DVCAM cassette tapes are

used, the maximum time for STILL TIMER is set to 20
seconds.

• The audio sampling rate recorded to consumer DV tapes

is 48 kHz. When using the IEEE1394 interface board
(option: AJ-YAD255G), however, sampling rates of 44.1
kHz and 32 kHz can be recorded to a consumer DV tape
during 1394 input only.

Align the center of the cassette with the center
of the insertion slot, and press it in gently.
The cassette tape will load automatically.

Tapes capable of up to 66 minutes of recording or 
playback
(AJ-P66MP, AJ-P33MP)

Tapes capable of up to 184 minutes of recording or 
playback
(AJ-5P92LP, AJ-P126LP)
• Use recorded AJ-5P92LP tapes in the DVCPRO (25M)

184-minute compatible VTR.

• Control from a controller or computer having a

REC/PAUSE command (when using the IEEE1394
interface board AJ-YAD255G) enables recording in
connected segments. When using a consumer DV tape,
however, the video and audio in the frame before and
after the connection point may be distorted in some
cases.
