• Recording in LP mode extends the available recording time on the tape 1.5 times.
• Depending on the condition of the tape (long usage, imperfections, etc.) you may notice
some video anomalies (blocky video artifacts, banding, etc.) in the playback picture

important recordings.

notice some video anomalies in the picture at the point where the recording mode changes.
