Recording and
Playback
This unit can use standard-size and mini-size DVCAM cassettes listed
below.
Model name
PDV-64ME/94ME/124ME/184ME
PDVM-12ME/22ME/32ME/40ME
The numbers in each model name indicate the maximum recording/
playback time (in minutes) for each model. For example, the PDV-184ME
has a maximum recording/playback time of 184 minutes.
Cassettes usable for playback only
All consumer DV cassettes and L- and M-size DVCPRO (25M) cassettes
are usable for playback only.
Notes
• If you insert an incorrect type of cassette, it will be automatically ejected.
• When operating this unit as a player, you can also use DV cassettes on
the unit. However, it is the best choice to always use DVCAM cassettes
because they are more reliable than DV cassettes whatever your purpose
may be: playback, editing, or long-period storage of recordings.
• Cassettes that have been recorded by a DV-format recorder can be played
back on this unit, but you cannot use them to carry out recording by
editing. If you insert such a cassette into this unit, the NO EDIT
indication lights up in the sub LCD menu home page.
