However, the format is switched only when the tape travel
has been stopped by eject, stop, standby-off, etc.
When the format is switched in the loading completion
status, the REMAIN display may not appear accurately.
Bear in mind that the following problems may arise over and
above trouble with playback if a tape with a different format
from the one selected is inserted.
1. When a DV or DVCAM tape is inserted while the DVCPRO
mode is selected, the unit will proceed with recording but
no guarantees are made for the resulting performance, etc.
Conversely, when a DVCPRO tape is inserted while the DV
or DVCAM mode is selected, the unit cannot perform
recording.
2. The remaining tape time will not be displayed accurately.
3. The slow-down positions near the tape start and end will
not be located accurately.
4. In addition, no guarantees are given for performance, etc. if
a tape with a different format from the one selected is
inserted.
