Tapes recorded in LP mode cannot be used for audio dubbing.

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.
