Notes on the LP mode
•When you record a tape in the LP mode on your camcorder, we recommend playing back the tape on
your camcorder. When you play back the tape on other camcorders or VCRs, noise may occur in
images or sound.
•When you record in the LP mode, we recommend using a Sony video cassette so that you can get the
most out of your camcorder.
•Noise may occur also when you play back on your camcorder tapes recorded in the LP mode on
other camcorders or VCRs.
•When you record a tape in the LP mode on your camcorder, recording is carried out in the standard
8 mm system.
Notes on ORC setting
•Each time you eject the cassette, the ORC setting will be cancelled. If necessary, set the setting.
•You cannot use this setting on a tape with the red mark on the cassette exposed.
(i. e. the tape is write-protected)
•When you set ORC TO SET, a non-recorded section of about 0.1 seconds appears on the tape.
However, note that this non-recorded section disappears from the tape when you continue recording
from this section.
•To check if you have already set the ORC setting, select ORC TO SET in the menu settings. “ORC
ON” is displayed if ORC TO SET is already set.
