1) When this unit is used as a recorder, the recording format is determined by the [
REC] menu if the input signal format is DVCAM or DV.
2) If you dub a DV-formatted tape when this unit is set for DVCAM and used as a recorder, the time code of the copied tape
will be partially inaccurate (note, however, that this does not affect editing accuracy except in special cases).
