This unit has several sound input connectors: AUDIO INPUT
connectors, i.LINK connector, and HD-SDI connector (VC-300HD

the video selected under "Selecting the video input connector" (p. 26)
is selected.
Use the following procedure to manually select the sound input
connector.

When sound is input to the selected connector, sound is output from
the AUDIO OUTPUT connectors, i.LINK connector, or HD-SDI OUT
connector (VC-300HD only).
* The same HDV or DV recording is output from CH1/CH2 and CH3/CH4 of
the AUDIO OUTPUT connectors. The embedded audio output from the HD-
SDI OUT connector at this time is output to the channel selected with "450:
SDI OUT Audio Ch" (p. 37) from the Menu (p. 30).
* When inputting a DV signal (32 kHz, 12 bit, 4-channel) from the i.LINK

the Menu (p. 30). At this time, sound is not output from the HD-SDI OUT
connector.
