Audio Dubbing

The audio dubbing feature lets you record new sound (audio) on a previously recorded tape without erasing the original picture (video). Tapes must be recorded in SP tape speed. New audio can be dubbed by connecting an external sound system to the AUDIO IN jack.

1.Connect the audio source to the AUDIO IN jack on the camcorder.

Note: If your TV (or VCR) has RIGHT and LEFT AUDIO OUT jacks, attach the white audio plug to the one labeled MONO. If one is not labeled MONO, you may need a Y-adapter to record sound from both channels.

dubbing. Press PAUSE/STILL at the point you want dubbing to begin.
