Audio Dubbing

You can add sound to the original sound on a prerecorded tape from audio products (AUDIO IN) or with the internal or external microphone (MIC. IN). The original sound will not be erased. For best results, add sound to tapes that have been recorded with this camera in SP mode with 12 bit sound. If there are non- recorded portions on the tape, or portions recorded in a mode other than SP mode, or with 16-bit or 12-bit, 4-channel sound, dubbing will stop. If your tape hasn’t been recorded in SP mode with 12 bit sound, we recommend dubbing your original tape onto a blank tape using the ELURA10/ELURA20 MC’s analog line-in function, then dubbing audio onto the new tape. Make absolutely sure to set the audio mode of the new tape to 12 bit and the recording mode to SP.
