Adding sound to a video tape

You can add CD or MD sound to your video recordings.

1.Press the CD input selector button.

2.Press the SP/SYS SETUP button repeatedly until “Video Assign?” appears and then press the SMART SCAN CON-

TROLLER.

5.Insert a tape to which recording is made in the video cassette recorder connected to the VIDEO-1 (R, L, V) jacks.

6.Press the REC OUT button.

The REC OUT indicator blinks for 8 seconds.

7.Rotate the SMART SCAN CONTROLLER to select “SOURCE.”

“CD” has been selected as the audio input source and “VIDEO 4,” which you set in steps 1 to 3, as the video input source.

8.Start recording on the video cassette recorder connected to the VIDEO-1 jacks. Then, start playing the CD player and the video camera connected to the VIDEO-4 jack.

Notes:

•If you change the input source during recording, you will record the audio signals from the newly selected input source and the video signals assigned to that input source.
