If you record playback pause picture with the
DV jack
The recorded picture becomes rough. And when
you play back the picture using your camcorder,
the picture may jitter.
Before recording
Make sure that the DV IN indicator appears on
the screen. The DV IN indicator may appear on

Note on the Remote Commander
Your camcorder works in the commander mode
VTR 2. Commander modes 1, 2 and 3 are used to
distinguish your camcorder from other Sony
VCRs to avoid remote control misoperation. If
you use another Sony VCR in the commander
mode VTR 2, we recommend changing the
commander mode or covering the sensor of the
VCR with black paper.
