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.

• 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 10 seconds.

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