Notes on the LP mode
•When you record a tape in the LP mode on your camcorder, we recommend playing back the tape on

your camcorder. When you play back the tape on other camcorders or VCRs, noise may occur in
pictures or sound.

•When you record in the LP mode, we recommend using a Sony cassette so that you can get the most

out of your camcorder.

•When you record in the SP and LP modes on one tape or you record some scenes in the LP mode, the

playback picture may be distorted or the time code may not be written properly between scenes.

Note on AUDIO MODE
When playing back a tape recorded in the 16-bit mode, you cannot adjust the balance in AUDIO MIX.

*To dub a tape to another VCR
You cannot select AUDIO MODE for tapes recorded in the Digital8   system. You, however, can select
AUDIO MODE when you dub tapes recorded in the Hi8/standard 8 system to another VCR using the
i.LINK cable.
