TAPE LENGTH
Set the tape length of the cassette to be used in units of
10 minutes.
When you change the TAPE LENGTH value, the REC
CYCLE value is recalculated and automatically

For recording, be sure to use a cassette of the same

different tape length is used, the TIME MODE
indication will not match the actual recording time.

series model indicates the tape length (unit: minute).
(Ex.: 270 minutes with DV-270RM).
In case of a PDV- or PDVM-series model, the value
obtained by multiplying the number included in the
name by 1.5 corresponds the tape length (unit:
minute). (Ex.: 276 minutes with PDV-184N).
