Select the audio sampling rate with the No. 245 <SAMPLING RATE> menu switch. The number of usable audio channels is determined by the sampling frequency selected with the No. 245 <SAMPLING RATE> menu switch. 5 32 kHz: 4 channels In normal recording, signals are recorded on CH1 and CH2. In the audio dubbing mode, signals are recorded on CH3 and CH4. 5 48 kHz: 2 channels Signals are recorded on CH1 and CH2. Audio dubbing is not possible.

2 Press the [PAUSE] button to temporarily stop recording. To restart recording, press the [PLAY] button. To stop recording, press the [STOP] button.

Notes:

• If the unit remains in the Pause mode for more than

5 minutes, the Stop mode is automatically engaged

to prevent the tape from being damaged. If tape

remaining time is less than 3 minutes or the unit is

being used in a low-temperature environment, the

Audio dubbing

Signals can only be recorded on CH3 and CH4. 1 Set the No. 245 <SAMPLING RATE> menu switch to “32K”. Set the video input to a position other than “DV IN”. (Audio dubbing is not possible with digital audio input.)  See “Recording preparation” on page 26.

2 Press the [PLAY] button to play back the tape.

3 Press the [PAUSE] button at the position from which you want to start recording audio. While holding the [PAUSE] button, press the [A.DUB] button. The Audio Dubbing Pause mode cannot be engaged unless the VCR is in the Stop mode. First engage the Stop mode. Then, while holding down the [PAUSE] button, press the [A.

4 Adjust the audio recording level with the [REC LEVEL] control.

5 Press the [PLAY] button to start audio dubbing. [Audio signals are recorded on CH3 and CH4. To stop audio dubbing temporarily, press the [PAUSE] button.

6 To end audio dubbing, press the [STOP] button.

Notes:

•Audio dubbing is not possible on tapes recorded with 48 kHz sampling frequency.

•If audio dubbing is performed repeatedly on a short section of the tape, there may be some noise when this section is played back.

•For audio dubbing, use a tape recorded with this unit. If another tape is used, first dub it to a tape on this unit. When audio is dubbed on a tape recorded on another VCR (including another BR-DV600UA/EA), sound and picture may be distorted.

•During audio dubbing, noise might be visible on the playback picture. But it is not a trouble of BR-DV600UA/EA. Audio dubbing itself is proceeded normally.

•It is not possible to use the audio dubbing function to record the CH1/2 playback signal on CH3/4 (sound- on-sound).

Reference

Recording section on the tape

In the MiniDV format, one video frame consists of 10 tracks. Each track includes recording sections for audio, video and sub code (time code, date, time). As shown in the diagram, the audio recording section provides 2 channels or 4 channels depending on the sampling rate frequency selected. In the Audio Dubbing mode, audio signals are recorded in the CH3 and CH4 section which is created when the 32 kHz sampling frequency is selected.

LINE	Selects composite video signals input to
	the [LINE IN] connector.
Y/C	Selects Y/C signals input to the [Y/C]
	connector.
COMPONENT	Selects component video signals input to
	the [COMPONENT IN] connectors.
IEEE 1394	Selects digital signals input to the [DV IN/
	OUT] connector.

Stop mode is engaged within about 3 minutes.

• When a tape recorded on this unit is played back on

a consumer MiniDV VCR, the sound level may be

low.

• During recording, the upper section of the picture may

be distorted or deflect. This is not a malfunction.
