„About date/time

The Date and Time function are driven by a built-in lithium battery.

Make sure to check the time before recording because the built-in clock is not very accurate.

Internal Lithium Battery Recharge

The internal lithium battery sustains the operation of the clock. If the [ ] or [--] is indicated when the Camcorder is turned on, the internal lithium battery is near exhaustion.

1 Connect the AC Adaptor to the Camcorder with the power turned off and then connect to the AC jack.

After charging for 4 hours, the built-in lithium battery can power the clock for approximately 3 months.

Leave the Camcorder as is for approx. 24 hours, and the battery will drive the Date and Time for approx. 6 months. (Even if the [OFF/ON] Switch is set to [OFF], the battery is still being recharged.)

LP Mode

You can switch the tape recording speed.

• Set to Tape Recording/Playback Mode. Set [ BASIC] or [ ADVANCE] >> [ REC SPEED] >> [LP].

If the LP mode is selected, the recording time will be 1.5 times the SP mode, but some functions will be disabled.

We recommend using the SP mode for important recordings.

In order to fully exhibit the performances of the LP mode, we recommend using Panasonic cassettes marked LP mode.

Audio dubbing is not possible with LP Mode. (p. 41)

In the LP mode, the picture quality will not be degraded in comparison with the SP mode, but mosaic noise may appear on the playback image or some functions may be disabled.

-Playback on other digital video equipment or on digital video equipment without the LP mode

-Playback of the image on other digital video equipment recorded in the LP mode

-Slow Motion/Still Advance playback

Audio Recording Mode

You can select the sound quality of the recorded sound.

• Set to Tape Recording Mode.

Set [ SETUP] >> [ AUDIO REC] >> [12bit] or [16bit].

High sound-quality recording is possible with “16 bit 48 kHz 2 track” Mode. With the “12 bit 32 kHz 4 track” Mode, the original sound can be recorded on 2 tracks in stereo, while the other 2 tracks can be used for Audio Dubbing.
