Caution

Once you have started recording, you cannot change the input signal selection.

6 Select the audio mode.

Select either two-channel mode (2 CHANNEL) or four-channel mode (4 CHANNEL) with the REC MODE menu item (see page 65). The corresponding indicator lights in the REC MODE display.

Cautions

•In the DVCAM format, there are two audio recording modes, with either two channels at 48 kHz or four channels at 32 kHz. It is not possible to select other modes (for example with four channels at 48 kHz).

•During audio editing, if a signal used in assemble or insert editing is in a different mode from the base tape, the signals will be discontinuous at the edit points, and correct editing will not be obtained. For this reason, audio editing between different modes is inhibited on this unit.

For smooth editing operations, check the audio recording mode of the base tape beforehand.

•Once you have started recording, you cannot change the audio mode selection.

•If on a tape there is a point where the audio mode is switched, it is not possible to carry out insert editing over a section including that point.

•When, in 4-channel mode, analog audio is selected for all four channels (channels 1/2 and 3/4), the same analog audio signals are recorded on channels 1 and 3 and on channels 2 and 4, respectively.
