CAUTION:
The unit records video and audio signals into the built-in
memory once, and then reads these signals out and
records them on tape. Thus, video images or voice for 2 to
3 seconds will be recorded on tape, when you start
recording while the VTR SAVE/STBY switch is set to the
SAVE position and then stop it immediately by pressing the
REC START button or the VTR button on the lens.
