Before recording important video, be sure to
make a trial recording.
Playback your trial recording to make sure the
video and audio have been recorded properly.
●
We recommend cleaning your video heads
before use.
If you haven’t used your
camcorder for a while,
the heads may be dirty.
We recommend
periodically cleaning the
video heads with a
cleaning cassette
(optional).
●
Be sure to store your
cassette tapes and camcorder in the proper
environment.
Video heads can become dirty more easily if
your cassette tapes and camcorder are stored
in a dusty area. Cassette tapes should be
removed from the camcorder and stored in
cassette cases. Store the camcorder in a bag or
other container.
●
Use SP (Standard Play) mode for important
video recordings.
LP (Long Play) mode lets you record 50% more
video than SP (Standard Play) mode, but you
may experience mosaic-like noise during
playback depending on the tape characteristics
and the usage environment.
So, for important recordings, we recommend
using SP mode.
●
