Although the picture quality of material shot in the
LP mode is not bad, mosaic-like noise may appear,
limitations may apply to some of the memory func-
tions and/or regular playback may not be possible
when:
•
a tape shot in the LP mode using this camera-
recorder is played back in another digital video unit;
•
a tape shot in the LP mode using another digital
video unit is played back in this camera-recorder;
•
a tape shot in the LP mode using this camera-
recorder is played back in another digital video unit

Audio dubbing cannot be performed in the LP mode
