Notes on Power Supply and Video Cassettes
Usable cassettes
We recommend you to use a DigitalMaster
of standard HDV/DVCAM/DV cassette (such as
PHDV-276DM), or mini HDV/DVCAM/DV cassette
(PHDVM- 63DM) for recording in HDV/DV format.
We recommend you to use a standard DVCAM
cassette, Mini-DVCAM cassette, or DigitalMaster
described above for recording in DVCAM format.
Mini cassette
Cassette memory
Some Mini cassettes and standard cassettes have the
cassette memory ( mark). The unit, however, does
not support cassette memory.
However, if you use the DSR-25/45/50 as a recorder,
the unit accesses cassette memory only if the recorder
is set to [AUTO ].
