$ 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 functions and/or regular
playback may not be possible when:
O a tape shot in the LP mode using this
camera-recorder is played back in another
digital video unit;
O a tape shot in the LP mode using another
digital video unit is played back in this
camera-recorder;
O a tape shot in the LP mode using this
camera-recorder is played back in another
digital video unit that does not have an LP
mode capability;
O slow or frame-feed playback is performed; or
O an image search is conducted
$ Audio dubbing cannot be performed in the LP
