Notes on the LP mode
•When you record a 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 images or sound.
•When you record in the LP mode, we recommend using a Sony video cassette so that
you can get the most out of your camcorder.
•When you record in both the SP and LP modes on one tape, or you record some scenes
in the LP mode, the playback image may be distorted or the time code may not be
written properly between scenes.*
•Noise may occur also when you play back on your camcorder tapes recorded in the
LP mode on other camcorders or VCRs.*
•When you record a tape in the LP mode on your camcorder, recording is carried out in
the standard 8 mm system.*
Note on AUDIO MODE (DCR-TRV140 only)
When playing back a tape recorded in the 16-bit mode, you cannot adjust the balance in
AUDIO MIX.
Notes on ORC setting (CCD-TRV107/TRV108/TRV308/TRV408/TRV608 only)
•Each time you eject the cassette, the ORC setting will be canceled. If necessary, set the
setting.
•You cannot use this setting on a tape with the red mark on the cassette exposed.
(i. e. the tape is write-protected)
•When you set ORC TO SET, a non-recorded section of about 0.1 seconds appears on
the tape. However, note that this non-recorded section disappears from the tape when
you continue recording from this section.
•To check if you have already set the ORC setting, select ORC TO SET in the menu
settings. "ORC ON" is displayed if ORC TO SET is already set.
