CH1 and CH2 signals when a tape

 

recorded in the 12-bit audio mode is played

 

back.

 

ST1:

 

The sound recorded during shooting is

 

selected.

 

CH1 signals = CH1 track

 

CH2 signals = CH2 track

dubbing is selected.

 

CH1 signals = CH3 track

 

CH2 signals = CH4 track

 

MIX:

If the sound has been recorded in the 16-bit

 

mode, there is no CH3 or CH4. Therefore,

 

the correlation between the signals and

 

tracks will always be as follows:

 

CH1 signals = CH1 track

 

CH2 signals = CH2 track
