Four channels are always recorded. When a recording channel is not used, set the recording
source for that channel to Mute.
6.3.2 Set recording levels
Audio levels for the four recording channels are controlled automatically or manually. When
manual control is selected, the two rotary controls at the left-rear of the camcorder are used to
adjust the audio levels. These can be programmed to adjust a single channel or a combination
of channels (1+3, 2+4).
The front audio level control can be assigned to any channel. This control can be used together
with the rotary controls at the rear.
