$ Although the picture quality of material shot in the LP mode is not bad, mosaic-like noise may appear, limitations may apply to some of the memory functions and/or regular playback may not be possible when:

O a tape shot in the LP mode using this camera-recorder is played back in another digital video unit;

O a tape shot in the LP mode using another digital video unit is played back in this camera-recorder;

O a tape shot in the LP mode using this camera-recorder is played back in another digital video unit that does not have an LP mode capability;

O slow or frame-feed playback is performed; or O an image search is conducted

$ Audio dubbing cannot be performed in the LP mode as the tracks on the tape are narrower than the heads.
