CCD-TRV65n'RV615 only
This Hi8 system is an extension of the standard 8 mm system, and was developed to
realize higher picture quality.
You can use either Hi8 or standard 8 mm video cassette for this camera. When you use
a Hi8 video cassette, the recording is made in the Hi8 system. When you use a standard
8 mm video cassette, the recording is made in the standard 8 mm system. Standard 8
mm video cassette is incapable of recording in the Hi8 system.
If you intend to use a standard 8 mm video recorder/player to play back a video tape,
you are required to use a standard 8 mm video cassette for recording.
What is video 8 XR/video Hi8 XR
"XR", that is an abbreviation of "Extended Resolution", represents the new type of 8
mm camcorder that has the property to realize more quality picture compared with the
conventional camcorders including the Hi8 models. You can record and play back
pictures more clearly in detail with the "XR" camcorder.
Video tape recorded by a camcorder having the "XR" function shows excellent picture
quality at maximum when it is played back by the "XR" camcorder.
When video tape recorded by tids "XR" camcorder is played back by a conventional 8/
Hi8 camcorder or when video tape recorded by a conventional 8/Hi8 camcorder is
played back by this "XR" camcorder, the playback picture quality is in the normal
quality of the 8/Hi8 camcorder.

The playback mode (SP/LP) and system (Hi8/standard 8 mm) are selected
