Pioneer DVR-530H-S, DVR-630H-S manual Mpeg PCM

13The Initial Setup menu

Setting	Options	Explanation
Tuner Level	Normal •	Standard setting.
	Compression	Use if the audio level from the built-in tuner is excessive, causing dis-
		tortion.
External Audio	Stereo •	Select if the audio from the currently selected external input is stan-
		dard stereo.
	Bilingual	Select if each channel carries a separate soundtrack.

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 bilingual. This has priority over the setting you make here.

Bilingual Recording	A/L •	Record the left (A) channel of a bilingual source when recording to
		HDD with HDD Recording Format set to Video Mode On, to DVD in
		Video mode or in LPCM mode, from an external source.
	B/R	As above, but for right (B) channel recording.

When recording bilingual audio to DVD in VR mode (except in LPCM mode), or to HDD with HDD Recording Format set to Video Mode Off (except in LPCM mode), both audio channels are recorded and you can switch to the one you want on playback.

DV Input	Stereo 1 •	Select to use the ‘live’ audio track (recorded during the video shoot)
		from a camcorder that supports two stereo audio tracks.
	Stereo 2	Select to use the overdubbed audio track from a camcorder that sup-
		ports two stereo audio tracks.
	Mix	Select one of the three settings to use a mix of the two stereo audio
		tracks.
Input Level (L1–L3)	-6dB – +6dB	Adjust the input level separately for each of the external inputs from
	(default: 0 dB)	–6dB to +6dB in steps of 3dB.
