Tapes Type Description Consumer cassette (Standard DV cassette) (Mini DV cassette) Use the cassette adapter (AJ-CS455P) for the mini DV cassette tapes. Bear in mind that long-playing mini DV cassette tapes (standard mode: 80 minutes/LP mode: 120 minutes) cannot be used. Also bear in mind that recordings cannot be made on a tape when the AJ-CS750 cassette adapter is used. Use of Panasonic consumer DV cassette tapes is recommended. Remember to refrain from inserting a mini DV cassette without using the cassette adapter since malfunctioning or problems may result.

When the AJ-YAD455P digital video interface board is used, audio signals can be recorded at a rate of 44.1 kHz or 32 kHz on a consumer-use tape only when DVCPRO/DV signals are input. • During recording on a consumer-use tape, scenes can be recorded with continuity between frames by exercising control from the controller or personal computer (when the AJYAD455P digital video interface board is used) which has the REC/PAUSE command. However, in this case, the video and sound for the one frame before and after the continuity point may be disturbed. 14
