Changing the Recording Mode
To change to LP mode, open the menu and select VCR SET UP.
Then select REC MODE, set it to LP and close the menu.
Notes:
• Depending on the nature and usage condition of the tape,
recording/playback in LP mode may cause image or sound distortion. We
recommend using the SP mode for important recordings.
• We recommend recording in SP mode when you plan to transfer images
taken with the camcorder to your PC.
• If you record in both modes on the same tape, the image may become
distorted during playback and the time code may not be written correctly.
• If you play back a tape recorded on another digital equipment on this
camcorder, or vice versa, image and sound may become distorted.
It is not possible to dub audio or insert images to a tape that has been
recorded in LP mode.
