Changing the Recording Mode (SP/LP)
You can choose from SP (standard play) and LP (long play). LP extends the tape usage
by 1.5 times.
❍
Tapes recorded in LP mode cannot be used for audio dubbing (
96) or AV
insert (
94).
❍
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.
❍
We recommend recording in SP mode if you plan to transfer the images to a
computer.
❍
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.
To change to LP mode, open the menu and select [VCR SET UP]. Select
[REC MODE], set it to [LP] and close the menu.
