Notes on the LP mode
•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 make audio dubbing 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.
Notes on AUDIO MODE
•You cannot dub audio sound on a tape recorded in the 16-bit mode.
•When playing back a tape recorded in the 16-bit mode, you cannot adjust the balance in AUDIO MIX.
Notes on DEMO MODE
•You cannot select DEMO MODE when a cassette is inserted in your camcorder.
•When NIGHTSHOT is set to ON, the "NIGHTSHOT" indicator appears on the screen and you cannot
select DEMO MODE in the menu settings.
•DEMO MODE is set to STBY (Standby) as the default setting and the demonstration starts about 10
minutes after you have set the POWER switch to CAMERA without a cassette inserted.
To cancel the demonstration, insert a cassette, set the POWER switch to other than CAMERA, or set
DEMO MODE to OFF. To set to STBY (Standby) again, leave the DEMO MODE at ON in the menu
settings, turn the POWER switch OFF (CHG), and return the POWER switch to CAMERA.
