Audio Dubbing

The audio dub feature lets you record new audio (sound) on a previously recorded tape without erasing the original video (picture). The previous audio is erased and replaced with the new audio.

The audio dub feature increases your editing flexibility. Video segments can first be assembled and then a single narration or music background can be added.

The new audio can be added two different ways.

You can speak into the camcorder’s built-in microphone.

You can connect an external sound system to the white AUDIO jack on the camcorder.
