Notes on the LPmode
• When you record a tape in the LP mode on your camcorder, we recommend playing
the tape on your camcorder. When you play back the tape on other camcorders or
VCRs, noise may occur in pictures or sound.
• When you record in the LP mode, we recommend using a Sony Excellence/Master
cassette so that you can get the most out of your camcorder.
• You cannot dub audio on a tape recorded in the LP mode. Use the SP mode for the
tape to be audio dubbed.
• When you record in the SP and LP modes on one tape or you record some scenes in
the LP mode, the playback picture may be distorted or the time code may not be
written properly between scenes.
