a) If the player could not read the cassette memory when
duplication started, this unit determines that the player's
cassette does not have cassette memory and duplication
of the cassette memory will be cancelled. The duplicate
operation will be completed without duplicating the
cassette memory and this warning message will not be
displayed.
b) This unit detects tape length from the cassette memory
data. If two tapes with the same length in the DVCAM
format have been inserted in the player and the recorder
(this unit), complete duplication may not be done due to
the tape length error and this warning may not be
displayed. In this case, if you search the cassette memory
in the duplicated tape, the tape may not have a search
point even though the cassette memory has the search
point data.
c) If the cassette in the player does not have the cassette
memory, this warning is not displayed.
Cause/Remedy
The recorder (this unit) detected self-diagnostics. t For details on self-
diagnostics, see page 98 (GB).
Moisture condensation has occurred in the recorder (this unit). t If the cassette
is in the unit, remove the cassette and keep the cassette lid open and power on
and wait more than one hour.
The recorder's (this unit) video heads are clogged. t Clean the video heads with
the supplied cleaning cassette (see page 96 (GB)) .
The cassette in the player is a copyright-protected cassette. The duplication is
cancelled. t You cannot copy a copyright-protected cassette.
The cassette memory in the recorder (this unit) is smaller than the cassette
memory in the player. t Use a cassette that has larger cassette memory than
the one in the player. (This error is displayed only when the duplicate mode has
been set to AUTOq .)
The player's cassette tape length is longer than that of the recorder's (this unit)
cassette and duplication has failed. t Use a cassette with a tape length that is
longer than the one in the player.
The player's cassette tape length is longer than that of the recorder's (this unit)
cassette and there is a possibility that the duplication may fail. t Use a cassette
with a tape length that is longer than the one in the player. (This message is
