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 or the time code may not be written properly
between scenes.*
1)
•Noise may occur also when you play back on your camcorder tapes recorded in the LP mode on
other camcorders or VCRs.*
2)
•When you record a tape in the LP mode on your camcorder, recording is carried out in the
standard 8 mm system.*
