Important

If you switch to Progressive when using a TV that is not compatible with progressive-scan video, you will not be able to see anything displayed on your TV. If this happens, press and hold the + button on the front panel, then press HDD. This will set the recorder’s video output back to Interlace.

If the external source is standard stereo, leave set to Stereo. If each channel carries a separate soundtrack, change to Dual Mono.

DVR-520H only: When the external audio is from the DV input, an audio subcode channel within the DV audio tells the recorder whether the audio is stereo or dual mono. This has priority over the setting you make here.

Note

•If you’re recording in VR mode (except when set to FINE / MN 32), both channels will be recorded and you can switch them as you like on playback.

Some digital camcorders have two stereo tracks for audio. One is recorded at the time of shooting; the other is for overdubbing after shooting.

On the Stereo1 setting, the sound that was recorded while shooting is used. On the Stereo2 setting, the overdubbed sound is used. You can also choose a Mix setting of 25%, 50% or 75% for the Stereo 1 with a corresponding Stereo 2 setting of 75%, 50% or 25%.
