AUDIO EDITING

The camcorder’s audio editing feature lets you record a new soundtrack onto a previously re- corded tape without erasing the original picture.

When you use audio editing, you replace the au- dio on the tape with new sound. You can use sounds picked up by the camcorder’s built-in mi- crophone or signals from an audio source con- nected to the camcorder’s AUDIO jack.

Notes:

•If you connect an audio source, always use video quality shielded cables with phono- type connectors (such as Cat. No. 15-1540, not supplied) to connect the camcorder’s AUDIO jack to the audio source’s AUDIO OUT jack.

•Do not use a standard audio cable for this connection.

1.If you are not using the camcorder’s built-in microphone as an audio source, connect the audio source’s AUDIO OUT jack to the camcorder’s AUDIO jack.
