Hello. I've got 2 questions about the camcorder SONY DCR-HC42E PAL which are not answered in its manual.

1) Can it play back DVCAM recorded in miniDV tapes? And DVCAM recorded in miniDVCAM tapes?

2) Can it play back NTSC?

Here in Argentina they only import NTSC consumer camcorders. I found out that the SONY DCR-HC42 (NTSC) can playback a miniDV tape recorded in DVCAM PAL. But I don't have the possibility to test the PAL version, that's why I'm asking.

Thank you very much.
