8.1.2 Record Check Function
When the VCR is recording, press the PLAY button for more than 1.5 seconds and then release. The tape rewinds a little and then plays back the recording just made. When the tape reaches the spot where you pressed the PLAY button, the VCR returns to record mode.
8.1.3 Audio Recording
Either apply the specified line input signal to the AUDIO IN connector or connect the microphone to the MIC IN jack. If both are connected, the microphone is given priority.
Normal sound is played back only when a tape recorded in 2H, 6H, L18H, or L24H mode is played back in its respective mode.
The longer the recording time mode, the worse the sound quality becomes. In L18H and L24H modes, the sound quality is such that speech can be heard.
