Notes on the ORC function
•When you set ORC TO SET, the recording on the tape is erased for about 0.1 second so
that the camcorder can check the tape condition. Be careful when you use a recorded
tape. The 0.1 second blank is erased if you record from the point where you set ORC
TO SET for more than 2 seconds, or if you record over the blank.
•You cannot use this function on a tape with the red mark on the cassette exposed.
