Pioneer DVR-640H-S manual Pcm

The Initial Setup menu		14
Setting	Options	Explanation
External Audio	Stereo •	Select if the audio from the currently selected exter-
		nal input is standard 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
(DVR-640H-S only)		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 supports two stereo audio tracks.
	Mix	Select one of the three settings to use a mix of the
		two stereo audio tracks.
