Notes:
When recording and playing back tapes in LP mode, the nature of the tape and
usage conditions may affect recording, Mosaic-like noise may appear in the
image and the sound may be distorted during playback of tapes recorded in LP
mode. For important recordings, therefore, set the camera to SP mode.
If you record in both modes on the same tape, the picture may become distorted
during playback and the time code may not be written correctly.
A tape recorded in LP mode on other digital equipment may produce mosaic-
like noise and the sound may become distorted when played back on this
camcorder, and vice versa.
