pression technology and non-compressed PCM recording for audio. This system provides supe-
rior S/N, frequency band and waveform characteristics as well as reproduction of detailed areas,
etc., and realizes even higher picture and sound quality.

This function automatically rewinds the tape and plays back the last two seconds recorded, al-
lowing recorded contents to be quickly checked.
