This device is a HDV/DV video system format camera
recorder.
Videocassettes marked with the A symbol can be used.
The following phenomena may occur when tapes recorded
on other units (including another GY-HD200U/GY-HD200E/
GY-HD201E) are recorded or played back on this device.
• The transient section between scenes recorded on other
units and those recorded on this device may appear dis-
turbed.
• Digital noise may appear during playback due to track-
ing errors.
• This device records and plays back in the SP mode.
Recording or playback in the LP mode is not possible.
(In DV format)
• Due to manufacturing dispersion of tapes, we recom-
mend not to record pictures within the first 2 to 3 min-
utes from the beginning of the tape.
• Before recording important scenes, be sure to perform a
test recording and confirm that both video and audio are
recorded correctly.
• Recorded video and audio contents are for private use.
Other use may infringe on the rights of copyright hold-
ers.
• JVC cannot assume liabilities that may derive from the
impossibility of normal recording or playback of video or
audio due to malfunction of this device or the videocas-
sette.
