the bottom of the Mini DV cassette or

mAvoid placing the cassette in an area
conducive to dust or mold.

cassette is used again for recording, the
previously recorded material will be
automatically erased.

light, near strong heat sources, or in
areas with excessive steam.
@Store the cassette in its case and stand
it in an upright position.
l If the tape is not properly wound, rewind

Copyright protection
l The digital VCR has far superior
recording and playback ability than the
traditional analog VCR, and in order to
protect digital video software copyrights,
a system for managing copyrights has
been established. Some digital video
software may have pre-recorded copy-
right protection signals and cannot be
played back on this VIEWCAM. When
playing back a copyright-protected
tape, the “COPYRIGHT PROTECTED.”
warning will be displayed on the monitor
screen. Copyright protection signals
cannot be recorded with this VIEWCAM.
