To change to LP mode, press the MENU button and select [VCR SETUP].
Select [REC MODE], set it to [LP] and press the MENU button.
Tapes recorded in LP mode cannot be used for audio dubbing.
Depending on the nature and usage condition of the tape, picture and
sound recorded in LP mode may be distorted. We recommend using the
SP mode for important recordings.
If you record in both SP and LP modes on the same tape, the playback picture
may become distorted and the time code may not be written correctly.
If you play back a tape that has been recorded in LP mode with another digital
device on this camcorder, or vice versa, picture and sound may become
distorted.
