Video Recording
• The cassette tape holder can’t be opened unless a power supply is attached.
• There may be a delay after you slide EJECT until the cassette tape holder opens. Do
not use force.
• The time required to calculate the remaining tape length, and the accuracy of the
calculation, may vary according to the type of tape used.
• The tape remaining time icon is accurate only if the correct tape length has been
selected (see page 24).
• TAPE END appears when the tape reaches its end, and the power goes off
automatically if left in this condition for 5 minutes.
TAPE END also appears when a tape whose tape is already at its end is loaded.
• If the Recording Start/Stop button is pressed after the Record-Standby mode has
continued for over 5 minutes, recording may not start immediately.
TBC (Time Base Corrector)
• The TBC icon turns yellow (gray with a camcorder equipped with a black/white
viewfinder) while TBC is working.
• TBC does not work during still playback and shuttle search.
• The TBC icon turns white while TBC is not operative.
• It may take a few seconds before TBC actually starts working.
• The picture may be distorted if the TBC mode is activated or deactivated at the edit-
in/-out points or when normal playback resumes after still playback or shuttle
search.
• If the playback picture is distorted when TBC is set to on, turn off TBC.
