Before recording important video, be sure to
make a trial recording.
Play back 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
awhile, 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) mode for important video
recordings.
LP (Long Play) mode lets you record 50% more
video than SP (Standard) 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.
●
