Changing the Recording Mode
You can choose between SP (standard play) and LP (long play). LP extends the
tape usage by 1.5 times.
To change to LP mode, open the menu, select VCR SET UP, REC MODE
and set it to LP.
Notes:
• Depending on the nature and usage condition of the tape, recording/playback in
LP mode may cause image or sound distortion. We recommend using the SP
mode for important recordings.
• We recommend recording in SP mode if you plan to transfer the images to a
computer.
• If you record in both modes on the same tape, the image may become distorted
during playback and the time code may not be written correctly.
• If you playback a tape recorded on another digital equipment on this camcorder,
or vice versa, image and sound may become distorted.
It is not possible to dub audio or insert images to a tape that has been recorded
in LP mode.
