VCR SETUP
REC MODE•••••SP
To change to LP mode, open the menu and select [VCR SETUP]. Select [REC MODE], set it to [LP] and close the menu.
❍ 
Tapes recorded in LP mode cannot be used for audio dubbing ( 
88) or AV insert ( 
86).
❍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.
❍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.
