tapes for DVX102BE?

[Tytus]

Hi to everyone

I just bought DVX102BE, according to manual, should I ONLY use Professional series and Master series tapes?

regular Panasonic miniDV tapes are not sufficiant?

It really a matter of choice. personally, i use only the master tape. but i've got friends that only uses the normal tape. i don't really see a big diffrence in quality.maybe i'm not train enough to spot the diffrence like the PROS. the general rule is to stick to one tape
