Copyright signal
Certain pre-recorded software tapes are copyright protected. If you try to play
back such a cassette, “COPYRIGHT PROTECTED PLAYBACK IS
RESTRICTED” appears in the display for a few seconds and then the camera
displays a blank blue screen; you cannot view the contents of the cassette.
If you try to record from such a tape via the digital cable “COPYRIGHT
PROTECTED DUBBING RESTRICTED” appears in the display; you cannot
record the contents of the tape.
• If the cable is not connected properly, or if the cable is unconnected when you
press REC PAUSE, the camera displays the caution ‘‘CHECK THE DV
INPUT.’’ An anomalous image may also flash onto the screen.
• When you are recording from the OPTURA Pi, make sure you connect the cable
to the OPTURA Pi before connecting the other end of the cable to the
recording device.
• The image displayed by the camcorder that is being recorded to (for example on
its LCD screen, an attached TV, or in its viewfinder) may become distorted
during digital dubbing. The actual recording on the tape, however, is not
affected.
• Blanks between recordings on the playback tape are recorded as anomalous
images on the tape that is being recorded to.
• During DV dubbing you cannot add digital effects or faders or set the cut-in and
cut-out adjustments using the built-in digital timer (
74).
