AUDIO BALANCE

MONITOR ST-1 ST-2

When you play back a tape that was recorded in 12-bit mode, you can set the audio output to play: stereo 1 (the original sound), stereo 2 (any new sound, dubbed to the tape after recording), or mix the balance between the two.

•Audio from the 16-bit mode only contains stereo 1 sound and so you cannot/do not need to select the audio mix. The same is true for the 12-bit stereo 1 mode, unless new sound has been added post- recording.

•You can choose the output using the wireless controller only.

1.Set the camera to VCR mode.

2.Choose the output.

•Press AUDIO MONITOR on the wireless controller.

•Four settings appear as you push the button:

–STEREO1 for just stereo 1.

–STEREO2 for just stereo 2.

–MIX/FIXED for an equal mix of stereo 1 and 2.

–MIX/VARI. (mix variable) for when you want to mix the balance between stereo 1 and 2.

•To simply choose STEREO1, STEREO2 or MIX/FIXED, make sure your choice appears on the display.

•If you choose MIX/VARI., you can go on to mix the balance.

•Use the ST-1/ST-2 keys to mix the balance. A bar showing the mix appears on the screen for four seconds.

Notes:

•When you have chosen the output, STEREO1, STEREO2, MIX/FIXED or MIX/VARI. is shown in the top left of the display for a few seconds.

•If you turn the power off the output is set to STEREO1, however, if you select MIX/VARI. again with the wireless controller, your previously mixed balance will appear.
