Note on REC MODE
When you record on the standard 8 tape, your camcorder records in the SP mode even you select the
LP mode in the menu settings. In this case, the indicator “8 mm TAPE t SP REC, Hi8 TAPE t LP/
SP REC” appears on the screen. Use the Hi8 /Digital8 tapes for the LP mode.
Notes on the LP mode
•When you record a tape in the LP mode on your camcorder, we recommend playing back the tape on
your camcorder. When you play back the tape on other camcorders or VCRs, noise may occur in
images or sound.
•When you record in the SP and LP modes on one tape or you record some scenes in the LP mode, the
playback image may be distorted or the time code may not be written properly between scenes.
Note on AUDIO MODE
When playing back a tape recorded in the 16-bit mode, you cannot adjust the balance in AUDIO MIX.
