Changing the Recording Mode (SP/LP)

You can choose from SP (standard play) and LP (long play). LP extends the tape usage by 1.5 times.

❍Tapes recorded in LP mode cannot be used for audio dubbing ( 97) or AV insert ( 95).

❍Depending on the nature and usage condition of the tape, picture and sound recorded in LP mode may be distorted. 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 SP and LP modes on the same tape, the playback picture may become distorted and the time code may not be written correctly.

❍If you play back a tape that has been recorded in LP mode with another digital device on this camcorder, or vice versa, picture and sound may become distorted.
