When recording a bilingual source from an external input in Video mode or VR mode set to FINE/MN32, you can choose to record either the A/L (left), or the B/R (right) audio channel.

Note

•If you’re recording in VR mode (except when set to FINE/MN32), both channels will be recorded and you can switch them as you like on playback.

DV Input

• Default setting: Stereo1

You need to set this if you have a camcorder using 32kHz/ 12-bit sound connected to the front panel DV IN/OUT jack.

Some digital camcorders have two stereo tracks for audio. One is recorded at the time of shooting; the other is for overdubbing after shooting.

On the Stereo1 setting, the sound that was recorded while shooting is used. On the Stereo2 setting, the overdubbed sound is used. You can also choose a Mix setting of 25%, 50% or 75% for the Stereo 1 with a corresponding Stereo 2 setting of 75%, 50% or 25%.

You can adjust the gain of the audio from each external input individually, from –6dBto +6dB in steps of 3 dB to optimize the recorded audio level.
