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.
•When you record in both the SP and LP modes on one tape, or you record some scenes
in the LP mode, the playback image may be distorted.
•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.
