Audio Dubbing

The audio dubbing feature lets you record new audio (sound) on a previously recorded tape without erasing the original video (picture).

When you audio dub a tape, the previous audio is erased and replaced with the new audio.

The audio dubbing feature also increases your editing flexibility. Video segments can first be assembled, and then a single narration or music background can be added to the tape.

The new audio you want to put on the tape can be added one of three

different ways:

from speaking into the camcorder's built-in microphone.

from speaking into an external microphone connected to the MIC jack. (The built-in microphone is inoperable when an external microphone is attached.)

from an external sound system connected to the AV IN jack on the camcorder by using the Audio/ Video Input Cable as shown below. (Be sure to disconnect external microphone, if connected, when recording.)

See pages 44 and 45 for optional accessories.
