Changing the recording mode (SP/LP)
E
You can record and play back a tape in SP (standard play) and LP (long play)
modes. LP extends tape usage by 1.5 times.
You can't add sound (audio dubbing) or images (A/V insert) to a tape that has
been recorded in LP mode. If you plan to use either of these functions later,
record in SP mode.

VCR SET UP

To change to LP mode, open the menu and select VCR SET UP. Then select
REC MODE, set it to LP and close the menu.
• 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. 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.
16:9 (Widescreen TV recording)

playback on widescreen TVs.
