Solutions
Is the [VCR] Lamp on? If the [VCR] Lamp is not on, the
playback function cannot be used.
This phenomenon is characteristic of digital video systems. It
is not a malfunction.
Have you selected Video Input on the TV? Please read the
operating instructions of your TV and select the channel that
matches the input jacks used for the connection.
Are the heads of the Camera/Recorder dirty? If the heads
are dirty, playback image cannot be clear.
Is the volume too low? During playback, continue pressing
the [PUSH] Dial until the [VOLUME] Indication appears.
Then, rotate the [PUSH] Dial to adjust the volume.
[AUDIO] on the [PLAYBACK FUNCTIONS] Sub-Menu of the
[VCR FUNCTIONS] Main-Menu has been set to [MIX]. As a
result, the original sound and sound that was recorded by
audio dubbing are played back together. It is possible to
reproduce the sounds separately.
If you perform audio dubbing on a recording done in [16bit]
Mode, the original sound will be erased. If you want to
preserve the original sound, be sure to select [12bit] Mode at
the time of recording.
≥Although a Cassette with no audio dubbing is being played,
is [AUDIO] on the [PLAYBACK FUNCTIONS] Sub-Menu of
the [VCR FUNCTIONS] Main-Menu set to [ST2]? To play
back a Cassette with no audio dubbing, [AUDIO] must be
set to [ST1].
≥Is the Variable Speed Search Function working? Press the
[1] Button to cancel the Variable Speed Search Function.
Do you have [REC MODE] on the [CARD SETUP] Sub-Menu
set to [ECONOMY]? If recording is done with it set to
[ECONOMY], a detailed image may show a mosaic pattern.
Set the [REC MODE] to [NORMAL] or [FINE]. ( l 34)
There is a possibility that the images are damaged.
