DSR-11 and GL-1/XL-1
July 18, 2001 01:42PM

<HTML>I am thinking of buying the DSR-11 for the GL-1/XL-1 setups we have been using...

I hear a rumor that I may have problems with some tapes orginally shot on cannon cameras and played on Sony decks. Some sort of tape-alignment problems or such which throws off the tracking - therefore making the image un-viewable. I also hear that the tapes make a difference (which I find hard to believe). In fact, i think I was at a meeting a few months ago and someone had that problem when we met at Dr. Rawstock. Does anyone remember that?

Was that a fluke? Is it like 1 out of 100?
Am I safe to buy this unit and not have problems with compatibility?

I would love to hear the good and the bad (if any please).
Thanks everyone for your help in advance!

<HTML>I have received a couple of reports on this issue but narrowed the source of the problem to cheap tape stock. We have sold a lot DSR-11 units to users in the field who are using GL-1/XL-1 with no issues at all. ProMax recommends and only carries the Sony Premium tapes. Of the few reports that I have received most were from users who just purchased there camera and made the mistake of using the free tape that ships with the camera smiling smiley

. The free giveaway tape that comes with the camera isn't the best quality. We have found over the years using good quality tape usually decreases your chances of mysterious issues.
