Notes on the LP mode
•When you record the tape in the LP mode on
your camcorder, we recommend playing
back 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
mini DV cassette so that you can get the most
out of your camcorder.
•You cannot make audio dubbing on the 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.
