Notes on the LP mode
•When you record the tape in the LP mode on your camcorder, we recommend playing
back the tape on your camcorder. When you play back the tape on another camcorder
or VCRs, noise may occur in pictures or sound.
•When you record in the LP mode, we recommend using a Sony Excellence/Master
mini DV cassette so that you can get the most out of your camcorder.
•You cannot make audio dubbing on the tape recorded in the LP mode. Use the SP
mode for the tape to be audio dubbed.
•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.
Notes on AUDIO MODE
•You cannot dub audio sound when AUDIO MODE is set to 16BIT.
•When playing back the tape recorded in the 16-bit mode, you cannot adjust the
balance of AUDIO MIX.
