Solutions
≥If scenes of less than 15 seconds are continuously
recorded, the remaining tape time cannot be displayed
correctly.
≥In some cases, the Remaining Tape Time Indication may
show remaining tape time that is 2 to 3 minutes shorter
than the actual remaining tape time.
Is the [VCR] Lamp on? If the [VCR] Lamp is not on, the
playback function cannot be used.
This phenomenon is characteristic of digital video systems. It
is not a malfunction.
Have you selected Video Input on the TV? Please read the
operating instructions of your TV and select the input that
matches the input jacks used for the connection.
Are the heads of the Palmcorder dirty? If the heads are dirty,
playback image will not be clear.
Is the volume too low? During playback, continue pressing
the [PUSH] Dial until the [VOLUME] Indication appears.
Then, rotate the [PUSH] Dial to adjust the volume.
[AUDIO] on the [PLAYBACK FUNCTIONS] Sub-Menu of the
[VCR FUNCTIONS] Main-Menu has been set to [MIX]. As a
result, the original sound and sound that was recorded by
audio dubbing are played back together. It is possible to
reproduce the sounds separately.
If you perform audio dubbing on a recording done in [16bit]
Mode, the original sound will be erased. If you want to
preserve the original sound, be sure to select [12bit] Mode at
the time of recording.
≥Although a Cassette with no audio dubbing is being played,
is [AUDIO] on the [PLAYBACK FUNCTIONS] Sub-Menu of
the [VCR FUNCTIONS] Main-Menu set to [ST2]? To play
back a Cassette with no audio dubbing, [AUDIO] must be
set to [ST1].
≥Is the Variable Speed Search Function working? Press the
[1] Button to cancel the Variable Speed Search Function.
Do you have [PICTURE QUALITY] on the [CARD SETUP]
Sub-Menu set to [ECONOMY]? If recording is made when it
is set to [ECONOMY], a detailed image may show a mosaic
pattern. Set the [PICTURE QUALITY] to [NORMAL] or
[FINE]. (l 35)
There is a possibility that the images are damaged. To
prevent the loss of image data, we recommend that you back
images up on a Cassette or personal computer. (l 37, 46)
There is a possibility of damage to either the Palmcorder or
the Card. Please contact Panasonic Call Center.
