Audio and Video Dubbing
The audio and video dubbing feature lets you record new audio (sound) and video (picture) on a previously recorded tape in the camcorder.
The source for the dubbing is the camcorder’s microphone and camera or a source connected to the AUDIO/VIDEO jacks on the side of the camcorder.
•To record from the camcorder’s microphone and camera, no special connections are required.
•To record from an external video source (VCR, LaserDisc player, etc.), you will need an optional audio/video cable, such as AH005 shown on page 54.
