Notes on titles

• The titles you superimposed are displayed by only using the DV format video
equipment with index titler function.
• When you are searching the tape using the other video equipment, the portion of the
tape you superimpose the title may be detected as an index signal.
• If you input 13 characters or more for a LARGE-title, the title is automahcally reduced
into a proper size after the position is set.
Notes on the cassettes
• If you use a cassette tape set to prevent accidental erasure, you cannot superimpose
or erase the title. Slide the protect tab so that the red portion is not visible.
• You can superimpose about 11 to 20 titles in one cassette, if one title consists of about
5 characters.
• If the tape has too many index signals, you may not be able to superimpose a title
because the memory is full.
