Note on Standby mode
If you leave the camcorder in Standby mode for 5 minutes while the cassette is inserted,

wearing out the tape. To resume Standby mode, turn STANDBY down and up again.
To start recording, press START/STOP.
Notes on recording mode
• This camcorder records and pl3ys back in SP (standard play) mode and in LP (long
play) mode. However, when recording with the Hi8 system, you can record in SP
mode only. The playback quality in LP mode will not be as good as that in SP mode.
• When a tape recorded on this camcorder in LP mode is played back on other types of
8mm camcorders or VCRs, the playback quality may not be as good as that on this
camcorder.
Note on recording
When you record from the beginning of a tape, run the tape for about 15 seconds before
starting the actual recording. This will ensure that you won't miss any start-up scenes
when you play back the tape.
