You cannot use any other 8 mm, Hi8, Digital8, VHS, VHSC, S-VHS, S-VHSC, Betamax, ED Betamax, DV or MICRO MV cassette. * There are two types of mini DV cassettes: with cassette memory and without cassette memory. Cassettes with cassette memory have the (Cassette Memory) mark. We recommend you to use cassette with cassette memory. IC memory is mounted on this type of cassette. Your camcorder can read and write data such as dates of recording or titles, etc. to this memory. The functions using the cassette memory require successive signals recorded on the tape. If the tape has a blank portion at the beginning or between recorded portions, titles may not be displayed properly or the search functions may not work properly. Perform the following to prevent a blank portion from being made on the tape. Press END SEARCH to go to the end of the recorded portion before you begin the next recording if you operate the following: - You have changed the cassette while recording. - You have played back the tape. - You have used the edit search function. If there is a blank portion or discontinuous signal on your tape, re-record from the beginning to the end of the tape as described above. The same result may occur when you record using a digital video camera recorder without a cassette memory function on a tape recorded by one with the cassette memory function. mark on the cassette The memory capacity of cassettes marked with is 4Kbit.
