* There are two types of mini DV cassettes:
with cassette memory and without cassette
memory. Tapes with cassette memory have
(Cassette Memory) mark. Sony
recommends that you use a tape with
mark to enjoy your camcorder fully.
The IC memory is built in the cassette with
cassette memory. Using this IC memory, your
camcorder can read, write, and search data
such as the date of recording or titles. The
functions using the cassette memory require
successive signals recorded on the tape. If the
tape has a blank portion in the beginning or
between the recorded portions, a title may not
be displayed properly or the search functions
may not work correctly.
Not to make any blank portion on the tape,
press END SEARCH to return to the end of the
recorded portion before you begin the next
recording when:
– You have ejected the cassette while
recording.
– You have played back the tape in VCR mode.
If there is a blank portion or discontinuous
signal on your tape, re-record from the
beginning to the end of the tape concerning
above.
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, the same result may occur.
