and may not record and or play back correctly. For 
instructions on removing tape slack, see next page.

• Follow the instructions in “Inserting a Cassette” on 

page 45 to insert a cassette, or the camcorder may be 
damaged.

Set the REC/SAVE switch to SAVE to prevent accidental 
erasure of recorded contents.

If you insert a cassette into the camcorder when the REC/
SAVE switch is set to SAVE, the camcorder will not 
record when you press the REC button.

To enable recording
Set the REC/SAVE switch back to REC.

Turn the reel gently with a paper clip, etc., in the direction 
shown by the arrow. If the reel does not move, there is no 
slack. Insert the cassette into the cassette holder, and after 
about 15 seconds take it out. 

This camcorder can also use the consumer DV format in 
addition to the DVCAM format (only SP mode is available 
for DV format, you cannot record/play in LP mode of the 
DV format). Here explained are the differences, 
compatibility, and limitations on editing about DVCAM 
and DV formats.

* There are two modes for audio recording, lock mode and unlock mode. In 

lock mode, the sampling frequencies of audio and video are synchronized. 
In unlock mode, which consumer DV format adopts, the two sampling 
frequencies are independent. Therefore, lock mode is more effective than 
unlock mode in digital processing and smooth transition during audio 
editing. 

Audio with sampling frequency 16 bit: 32 kHz and 44.1 
kHz cannot be recorded on this camcorder.

Compatibility on cassettes
The recording format of picture is defined according to 
recorder’s format as described below. 

• Though DV cassettes can be used for recording in 

DVCAM format, we recommend you to use DVCAM 
cassettes to get the most out of high reliability of 
DVCAM format. 

• When you record using DV cassettes in DVCAM 

format, the recording time of DV cassettes is 

2

/

3

 shorter 

than that indicated on the DV cassettes.

Compatibility on playback
Some tapes cannot be played back on DVCAM or DV 
video equipment.
