Notes on the LP mode
• When you record a tape in the LP mode on your camcorder, we recommend playing 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 Excellence/Master cassette

so that you can get the most out of your camcorder.

• You cannot make audio dubbing on a tape recorded in the LP mode. Use the SP mode for the

tape to be audio dubbed.

• 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.

Notes on AUDIO MODE
• You cannot dub audio sound on a tape recorded in the 16-bit mode.

• When playing back a tape recorded in the 16-bit mode, you cannot adjust the balance in

AUDIO MIX.

Notes on DEMO MODE
• You cannot select DEMO MODE when a cassette is inserted in your camcorder.

• DEMO MODE is set to STBY (Standby) at the factory and the demonstration starts about 10

minutes after you have set the POWER switch to CAMERA without a cassette inserted.

Note that you cannot select STBY of DEMO MODE in the menu settings.

• When NIGHTSHOT is set to ON, the “NIGHTSHOT” indicator appears on the LCD screen or

in the viewfinder and you cannot select DEMO MODE in the menu settings.
