Notes on the LP mode
YWhen you record a tape in the LP mode on your camcorder, we recommend playing the tape on your
camcorder. When you play back the tape on other camcorders or VCRs, noise may occur in pictures
or sound.
YWhen you record in the LP mode, we recommend using a Sony Excellence/Master cassette so that
you can get the most out of your camcorder.
YYou cannot dub audio on a tape recorded in the LP mode. Use the SP mode for the tape to be audio
dubbed.
YWhen 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.
Notes on AUDIO MODE
YYou cannot dub audio on a tape recorded in the 16-bit mode.
YWhen playing back a tape recorded in the 16-bit mode, you cannot adjust the balance in AUDIO MIX.
