b) c)
RECORDER:
SHORTER TAPE
The player’s cassette tape length is longer than that of the recorder’s (this unit)
cassette and there is a possibility that the duplication may fail. t Use a cassette
with a tape length that is longer than the one in the player. (This message is
displayed as a caution for 10 seconds after the start of duplication.)
a) If the player could not read the cassette memory when
duplication started, this unit determines that the player’s
cassette does not have cassette memory and duplication
of the cassette memory will be cancelled. The duplicate
operation will be completed without duplicating the
cassette memory and this warning message will not be
displayed.
b) This unit detects tape length from the cassette memory
data. Even if two tapes with the same length in the
DVCAM format have been inserted in the player and the
recorder (this unit), complete duplication may not be
done due to the tape length error and this warning may
not be displayed. As a result, if you search the cassette
memory in the duplicated tape, the tape may not have a
search point even though the cassette memory has the
search point data.
c) If the cassette in the player does not have cassette
memory, this warning is not displayed.
Note
If any warning message not listed in the table is
displayed, consult your Sony dealer.
