Notes on recording/ playback
Copyright precautions
On recording
You cannot record any software having copyright protection signals on this VCR. If you start recording protected video and audio signals, a warning message appears on the monitor screen and the VCR stops recording.
For DSR-30P only: If you record a programme using timer, that is encoded with copyright protection signals, the VCR will continue recording but the video and audio signals will not be recorded on tape.
On playback
When you play back software having copyright protection signals on this VCR, you may not be able to copy it onto other equipment.
Limitations caused by the difference in format
This VCR can record, play back and edit the tapes recorded in DVCAM format. It can also play back the tapes recorded in DV format (SP mode). However, due to the difference in format, you may not be able to record or edit some tapes affected by recording conditions of the tape (e.g., A tape originally recorded in DV format is dubbed in DVCAM format.)
For details, refer to “Compatibility of DVCAM and DV format” on page 58.
No compensation for contents of the recording
Contents of the recording cannot be compensated for if recording or playback is not made due to a malfunction of the VCR, video tape, etc.

Searching using the index function
Tips
• If you use a tape with mark, the cassette
memory stores up to 135 index signals. (The number changes depending on the memory size combination of index, date, and photo data stored on a tape.) This VCR is capable of storing and retrieving up to 16 kbits of cassette memory.
•To locate recordings whose signals are disabled to be stored in the cassette memory, or to locate recordings in order of their position on the tape, set “CM SEARCH” to “OFF” in the SET UP MENU. You can use the same procedure to search for a recording on a tape without cassette memory.
Three kinds of search are available on this VCR:
–Searching for the beginnings of recordings: Index search
–Searching for a point on the tape where the recorded date changes: Date search
–Searching for scenes recorded in the photo mode with a digital camcorder: Photo search
Searching in the list
If the tape has a cassette memory, the recordings are listed in the chronologically in the order they were made. You can search using this chronological list.
If the tape does not have a cassette memory, you cannot search for scenes in the chronological order.
1 Press SEARCH SELECT to select the search type: INDEX, DATE or PHOTO SEARCH.
The indicator of the search type you selected lights.
The chronological list appears on the monitor screen.

Watching wide pictures
Notes
•This VCR can detect Wide- ID-1/ID-2 signals input from the LINE-1 IN/LINE- 2 IN signals. It cannot detect S1/S2 signals or EDTVII discrimination control signals.
•For operation of the widescreen TV, refer to the instruction manual of the TV.
You can play wide pictures recorded on this VCR or on the DSR-200/ 200P digital camcorder in wide mode automatically.
Recording wide pictures
If this VCR receives the WIDE-ID signals from the LINE-1 IN/LINE-2 IN jacks or DV IN connector, this VCR can record pictures in wide mode. The WIDE indicator on the front panel lights when the VCR detects input of WIDE-ID signals.
About WIDE-ID signals
There are two systems:
ID-1: Makes wide signals overlap on the V-blanking part of the video signals.
ID-2: Adds copyright protection signals to the ID-1 system.
Playing back wide pictures
To watch on a 4:3 monitor screen
Set “WIDE PB” to “ON” on the SET UP MENU of this VCR. Black bands appear at the top and the bottom (for DSR-30P, bottom only) of the screen and the screen looks wide (CINEMA mode.)
To watch on a wide-screen TV
Set “WIDE PB” to “OFF” on the SET UP MENU of this VCR, and set the wide-screen TV to “16:9 FULL mode.”
In the case of a wide-screen TV compatible with the Video-ID on the wide screen system, it enters into the FULL mode automatically.
