recorded time codes.

Use only tapes without non-recorded portions.
If there are non-recorded portions or changes in the recording mode, you may not be able to insert AV
correctly.

• The playback tape has been poorly recorded.
• During special playback: fast forward playback, rewind playback or slow playback etc. (analog only).

You cannot insert AV from a TV program with anomalous synchronized signals, such as when the program
itself received poor signals.
