Audio Dubbing

MV 5

You can add sound to the original sound on a pre-recorded tape with the
internal or an external microphone. The original sound will not be erased.
For best results, add sound to tapes that have been recorded with this
camcorder in SP mode with 12-bit sound. Dubbing will stop if there are non-
recorded portions on the tape, portions recorded in a mode other than SP
mode, with 16-bit or 12-bit 4-channel sound. It is not possible to dub audio
onto a tape recorded with 12-bit and 16-bit sound intermingled.
To connect an external microphone:
Notes:
• When you add sound using the built-in microphone, make sure not to
connect any cables to the MIC terminal.
• To use your TV to monitor video, connect the S-video terminal ( 34) or
the AV terminal (use only the video plug) to your TV. You can monitor the
sound with headphones ( 32).
Turn the camcorder’s POWER switch to PLAY (VCR) and load a recorded
cassette.
• Make sure the REC/SAVE tab on the cassette has been slid to REC (closed
position).
