If you use standard 8 mm tape, be sure to play back the tape on your camcorder.
Mosaic noise may appear when you play back standard 8 mm tape on other VCRs
(including another DCR-TRV150/TRV250/TRV350/TRV351).

When you play back a tape, the Hi8
system or standard 8 mm system is
automatically detected and the playback system automatically switches to.

If you record on a Hi8
video cassette in the LP mode, recording is carried out in
the standard 8 mm system.
