A.DUB

Sound is not heard from the speaker during Audio Dubbing.

When editing onto a tape that was recorded at 12-bit, the old and new soundtracks are recorded separately.

If you dub onto a blank space on the tape, the sound may be disrupted. Make sure you only edit recorded areas.

If feedback or howling occurs during TV playback, move the camcorder’s microphone away from the TV, or turn down the TV’s volume.

If you change from 12-bit to 16-bit in mid-recording and then use the tape for Audio Dubbing, it is not effective from the point where 16-bit recording began.

During Audio Dubbing, when the tape moves to scenes recorded in the LP mode, scenes recorded in 16-bit

audio or a blank portion, Audio Dubbing stops ( pg. 72).
