Recording from Separate AV Sources

You can record audio and video from two separate sources, allowing you to overdub audio onto your video recordings. This works because when an audio-only input source (i.e., TUNER, TV, or AUX) is selected, the video input source remains the same. For example, if you select the VIDEO 2 input source, followed by the AUX input source, you can watch video from the VIDEO 2 input while listening to audio from the AUX input.

In the following example, audio from a CD player con- nected to the AUX IN sockets, and video from a cam-

	This selects the CD player as the audio
	source, but leaves the camcorder as the
	video source.
5	Start recording on the VCR and
	start playback on the camcorder
	and CD player.
	The video from the camcorder and the
	audio from the CD player are recorded
	by the VCR.

2	Start recording on the AV compo-
	nent connected to the VIDEO 1
	OUT sockets.
3	Start playback on the source
	component.
