Playback sound

During tape playback, the camcorder detects the sound mode in which the recording was made, and plays the sound back. Select the type of sound to accompany your playback picture. According to the menu access explanation on page 31, select “SOUND MODE” or “12bit MODE” from the Menu Screen and set it to the desired parameter.

STEREO : Sound is output on both “L” and “R” channels in stereo.

SOUND L : Sound from the “L” channel is output.

12bit MODE

(Factory-preset: SOUND 1)
