Sony CCD-TR23 - Manual (Page 29)

Playback Modes
The playback mode is selected automatically according to the recording system (SP/LP mode) in which
the tape was recorded.
LP (long play) mode
When you play back a tape recorded in LP mode, the LP indicator lights up in the viewfinder. This
camcorder cannot record tape in LP mode.
Foreign 8 mm video
You cannot play software recorded on a different TV color system. Because the TV color systems differ
from country to country, you may not be able to play back foreign pre-recorded software. Refer to page
35 to check the TV color system of foreign countries.
Tips for Using the Battery Pack
This section shows you how you can get the most out of your battery pack.
Preparing the Battery Pack
Always Carry Additional Batteries
Have sufficient battery pack power to do 2 to 3 times as much recording as you have planned.
Battery Life is Shorter in Cold Environment
Battery efficiency is decreased and the battery will be used up more quickly if you are recording in cold
environment.
To Save Battery Power
Turn the STANDBY switch on the camcorder down when not recording to save battery power, [a]
A smooth transition between scenes can be made even if recording is stopped and started again. White
positioning the subject, selecting an angle, or looking through the viewfinder lens, the lens moves
automatically and the battery is used. The battery is also used when a tape is inserted or removed.
