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
pictures or sound.
•When you record in the LP mode, we recommend using a Sony cassette so that you can get the most
out of your camcorder.
•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.
Note on AUDIO MODE
