Recording from Different AV Sources

With this function you can record audio and video from dif- ferent sources, allowing you to overdub audio onto your video recordings. This function takes advantage of the fact that when an audio-only input source (i.e., TAPE, TUNER, or CD) is selected, the video input source remains unchanged. For example, if you first select the VIDEO 3 input source, followed by the CD input source, you can watch the video from the VIDEO 3 input and listen to the audio from the CD input.

In the following example, audio from the CD player con- nected to the CD IN connectors, and video from the video camera connected to the VIDEO 3 INPUT VIDEO connector are recorded onto the VCR, which is connected to the VIDEO 1 OUT connectors.
