Recording Audio and Video from Separate Sources

You can overdub audio onto your video recordings by simultaneously recording audio and video from two separate sources. This is possible because only the audio source is switched when an audio-only input source, such as TAPE, TUNER, or CD, is selected, the video source remains the same.

In the following example, audio from the CD player connected to the CD IN jacks, and video from the camcorder connected to the DVD IN jack are recorded by the VCR connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.
