After playback, the Record mode is automatically re- engaged at the point where recording was interrupted.

The FM level is checked during playback in Recording Check operation to determine whether or not picture quality is defective. If it is judged defective, the heads are automatically cleaned. How this operation is

performed is determined by the setting of the [REC CHECK] switch in the function menu.

When set to "MANUAL":

Head cleaning is performed once and recording resumes.

When set "AUTO":

Head cleaning is performed once and recording is resumed for several seconds. Then, Recording Check operation is performed again.

If picture quality is again judged defective, head cleaning is performed once again and "E-09" is shown on the display to indicate that there is a problem. Recording will continue, however.
