Demonstration Mode
The demonstration mode displays the camcorder’s main features. It starts
automatically when you leave the camcorder turned on without loading a cassette
and without inserting a memory card for more than 5 minutes. However, you can set
the camcorder to not start the demonstration mode.
With no cassette and memory card inserted, open the menu and select
[DISPLAY SET UP]. Select [DEMO MODE], set it to [OFF] and close the
menu.
To cancel the demo mode once it has begun, press any button, turn off the
camcorder, load a cassette or insert a memory card.
