If you are experiencing one of the following problems with your Digital Palmcorder, it may be something you
can correct yourself. Check the list below for Problems and Solutions.
Problems
Audio dubbing cannot be performed.
The Time Code becomes inaccurate.
The Remaining Tape Time Indication
disappears.
The Remaining Tape Time Indication does not
match the actual remaining tape time.
Video cannot be played back even when the
[1] Button is pressed.
Mosaic-like noise patterns appear on images
during Cue, Review or Slow Motion Playback.
Although the Palmcorder is correctly
connected to a TV, playback images cannot be
seen.
Playback image is not clear.
No sound is played back from the built-in
speaker or headphones of the Palmcorder.
Different sounds are reproduced at the same
time.
≥Is the accidental erasure protection tab on the
Cassette open? If it is open (set to [SAVE]),
recording cannot be performed.
≥Are you attempting to edit a tape portion that
was recorded in LP Mode? LP Mode does not
allow audio dubbing to operate.
The Time Code Indication counter may not be
constant in the reverse direction in Slow Motion
Playback Mode, but this is not a malfunction.
When you record still pictures in PhotoShot Mode,
the Remaining Tape Time Indication may
disappear temporarily. However, it reappears
when the Palmcorder is set back to Normal
Recording Mode.
≥If scenes of less than 15 seconds are
continuously recorded, the remaining tape time
cannot be displayed correctly.
≥In some cases, the Remaining Tape Time
Indication may show remaining tape time that is
2 to 3 minutes shorter than the actual remaining
tape time.
Is the [VCR] Lamp on? If the [VCR] Lamp is not
on, the playback function cannot be used.
This phenomenon is characteristic of digital video
systems. It is not a malfunction.
Have you selected Video Input on the TV? Please
read the operating instructions of your TV and
select the input that matches the input jacks used
for the connection.
Are the heads of the Palmcorder dirty? If the
heads are dirty, playback image will not be clear.
Is the volume too low? During playback, continue
pressing the [PUSH] Dial until the [VOLUME]
Indication appears. Then, rotate the [PUSH] Dial
to adjust the volume.
[12bit AUDIO] on the [PLAYBACK FUNCTIONS]
Sub-Menu of the [VCR FUNCTIONS] Main-Menu
has been set to [MIX]. As a result, the original
sound and sound that was recorded by audio
dubbing are played back together. It is possible to
reproduce the sounds separately.
