    I have a DSR-11. When I rewind a tape and it gets to the head; it immediately starts playing. I can’t figure out how to turn this off. Or is there a way?

    I don’t have my DSR 11 in front of me but I believe that there is a switch on the back for “auto play” or “looping” that you need to toggle. If it’s not there, check the on screen menus.

    It is the toggle switch on the back. No wonder I couldn’t find it in the menu settings. Much appreciated Fred.

    Yup…it’s a switch in the back.

    I was SCOURING the menus on mine and couldn’t find it. Then Fred said “look on the back,” I did, and there it was.

    Good memory man.

    Hey, another DSR 11 related question, can I play DVCPro 25 tapes on this?

    Have a wonderful day.

    Chris, yes. DVCPRO25 is DV. DVCPRO 50 or 100 no.

    Steve, I am confused then. DVCPRO is DV is it not? The DSR-11 will both play and record DV.

    According to adamwilt.com

    “The consumer-oriented DV uses 10 micron tracks in SP recording mode. Sony’s DVCAM professional format increases the track pitch to 15 microns (at the loss of recording time) to improve tape interchange and increase the robustness and reliability of insert editing. Panasonic’s DVCPRO increases track pitch and width to 18 microns, and uses a metal particle tape for better durability. DVCPRO also adds a longitudinal analog audio cue track and a control track to improve editing performance and user-friendliness in linear editing operations.”

    So, disregard what I said. The DSR-11 only record DV and DVCAM.

    [Steve Eisen] “DSR-11 WILL NOT playback or record dvcpro25 tape via firewire.”

    Actually, I don’t think the DVCPro tapes will even fit into the DSR-11. The DVCPro tape is a little bigger than DV/DVCam tapes.
