Before recording important video, be sure to make a trial recording.

Play back your trial recording to make sure the video and audio have been recorded properly.

We recommend cleaning your video heads before use.

If you haven’t used your camcorder for a while, the heads may be dirty. We recommend periodically cleaning the video heads with a cleaning cassette (optional).

Be sure to store your cassette tapes and camcorder in the proper environment.

Video heads can become dirty more easily if your cassette tapes and camcorder are stored in a dusty area. Cassette tapes should be removed from the camcorder and stored in cassette cases. Store the camcorder in a bag or other container.

Use SP (Standard) mode for important video recordings.

LP (Long Play) mode lets you record 50% more video than SP (Standard) mode, but you may experience mosaic-like noise during playback depending on the tape characteristics and the usage environment.

So, for important recordings, we recommend using SP mode.

For safety and reliability.
