Tapes
Consumer-use DV and DVCAM cassettes
(Standard DV and DVCAM cassettes, mini DV
and DVCAM cassettes)
• Use a cassette adapter (AJ-CS455P) when a mini DV
or DVCAM cassette is to be used.
Note that inserting a mini DV or DVCAM cassette
without the use of a cassette adapter will cause
malfunctioning.
Also note that long-duration mini DV cassettes (80
minutes in the standard mode and 120 minutes in the
LP mode) cannot be used.
• It is not possible to play back tapes which have been
recorded in the LP mode.
• When editing material recorded on a consumer-use
DV or DVCAM cassette, first record the material on a
DVCPRO tape or other tape used by VTRs for 
broadcast applications.
• The maximum transport speed of a mini DV or
DVCAM cassette tape is 32x.
• The images may be subject to disturbance during the
slow motion playback of consumer-use DV and
DVCAM cassette tapes.
• From the perspective of protecting consumer-use DV
and DVCAM cassette tapes, minimize the number of
times the tapes are cued up at the same locations as
much as possible.
• When consumer-use DV and DVCAM cassette tapes
are used, the maximum time for STILL TIMER is set
to 10 seconds.
It is recommended that tapes bearing the Panasonic
brand be used as the consumer-use DV tapes.Align the center of the cassette with the center
of the insertion slot, and press it in gently.

IEEE 1394 digital interface
Precautions for use
• Connect the interface with another device on a 1:1
basis.
• If the E-92 warning (1394 INITIAL ERROR) is 
displayed, either re-connect the connecting cable or
turn the VTR’s power off and back on.
• The AV signals may be disrupted when the power of
the connected devices is turned on or off and when
the interface cable is connected or disconnected.
• When the input signals are switched or the mode is
transferred, it may take a few seconds for the system
to stabilize. Proceed with the recording operation only
after the system has stabilized.
• The following situation applies when recording is to
be performed by selecting the IEEE 1394 digital
interface input, and it applies with the signals which
are output by the IEEE 1394 digital interface.
- The audio level control knobs on the front panel do
not work.
- The settings in the 800 series of setup menu items
concerning the vertical blanking period are ignored.
- When playback signals other than regular 1x
speed playback signals have been input, no
guarantees are made for the pictures and sound
which will be recorded or for the EE-type pictures
and sound.
• The following situation applies when the video input
selection has been set as the IEEE 1394 digital
interface.
- The SDI signals, the analog video output signals
and time code output signals become irregular in
the E-E mode. Do not use these signals for
recording purposes. (The teletext signals and other
signals superimposed onto the video output signals
also become irregular.)
• During SLOW/STILL playback, unprocessed video
and audio signals are output as the IEEE 1394 digital
interface output. When these video and audio signals
are monitored using another device, they may differ
from the video and audio signals played back by this
unit.
Be absolutely sure not to defeat the
following safeguards when connecting the
IEEE 1394 cable.
(1) Ensure that the unit and all devices to be
connected are grounded (or connected to a
common ground).
If the equipment cannot be grounded, first turn off the
power of all the connected devices, and then
disconnect and re-connect the IEEE 1394 cable.
(2) When connecting the unit to a device
equipped with a 4-pin connector, connect the
unit’s connector (6-pin type) first.
(3) When making a connection to a PC equipped
with a 6-pin connector, connect the 1394
cable so that it mates properly with the 1394
connector.  Bear in mind that if the plug is
inserted the wrong way round, the unit may
be damaged as a result.
