Changing the Recording Mode (SP/LP)

You can choose from SP (standard play) and LP (long play). LP extends the tape usage

by 1.5 times.

E

Tapes recorded in LP mode cannot be used for audio dubbing ( 96) or AV insert ( 94).

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.

We recommend recording in SP mode if you plan to transfer the images to a computer.

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.
