Viewfinder Playback
Viewfinder playback is the simplest way to watch
tapes using the camcorder. This method is generally
used only to review scenes immediately after
recording because the display is in black and white.
If you want to privately listen during viewfinder
playback, you may connect an optional earphone to
the earphone jack.
To play back a tape through the viewfinder, follow
these steps:
1. Slide the POWER switch to the PLAY position.
2. Insert the cassette you want to playback.
3. Press the PLAY button to begin playback.
• During playback, press the still (l l ) button to
“stop the action” and view one frame of the tape.
Press the still (l l ) button again (or the PLAY
button) to return to normal playback.
• During playback, press and hold the F.FWD (fast
forward) or REW (rewind) button if you want to
visually search the tape in forward or reverse.
Release the button to return to normal playback.
4. Press the STOP button when you are finished.
Notes: The corresponding buttons on the remote control
can be used to operate the camcorder.
The camcorder can play back tapes recorded in SP or LP
speed. The LP indicator appears in the electronic
viewfinder when a tape recorded at LP speed is being
played. Tapes recorded at SLP speed cannot be played
back in this camcorder.
During still and search operations, it is normal for streaks
to appear in the picture.
The sound is muted during special playback operations.

Caution: Still is designed for momentary
interruptions and should not be used for an
extended period of time. If the camcorder
remains in the still mode for more than five
minutes, it will automatically move the tape
away from the spinning heads to prevent
excessive tape wear.
