Changing the recording mode

You can record and play back a tape in SP (standard play) and LP (long play) modes. LP extends tape usage by 1.5 times.

You can’t add sound (audio dubbing) or images (AV insert) to a tape that has been recorded in a mode other than SP mode. If you plan to use either of these functions later, record in SP mode.

To change to LP mode, open the menu and select VCR SET UP. Then select REC MODE, set it to LP and close the menu.

Notes:

•When recording and playing back tapes in LP mode, the nature of the tape and usage conditions may affect recording, mosaic-like noise may appear in the image and the sound may be distorted during playback. For important recordings, therefore, set the camcorder to SP mode.

•We recommend recording in SP mode when you plan to transfer images taken with the camcorder to your PC.

•If you record in both modes on the same tape, the picture may become distorted during playback and the time code may not be written correctly.

•A tape recorded in LP mode on other digital equipment may produce the mosaic-like noise and the sound may become distorted when playing back on this camcorder.

•A tape recorded in LP mode on this camcorder may produce the mosaic-like noise and the sound may become distorted when playing back on other digital equipment.
