Notes

•You can dub sounds only on a tape on which signals are recorded in the 32 kHz audio mode (4 channels, 12 bit) and in the DVCAM format.

•You can select a pair of channels to dub sounds using AUDIO DUB on the AUDIO SET menu.

•You cannot perform audio dubbing using a sound signal input via the DV jack. This symbol does not appear when DV signals are input.

3Link symbol

If the AGC (Auto Gain Control) of a pair of channels is linked, this symbol is placed between the channels. In the EE mode, if AGC CH1, 2 on the AUDIO SET menu is set to LINKED and the AUDIO INPUT switch is set to AUTO, channels 1 and 2 can be linked for AGC operation and for stereo sound where channel 1 is set for the left sound and channel 2 is set for the right sound.

In the EE mode, if AGC CH3, 4 on the AUDIO SET menu is set to LINKED and the AUDIO INPUT switch is to AUTO, channels 3 and 4 can be linked for AGC operation and for stereo sound where channel 3 is set for the left sound and channel 4 is set for the right sound.

Note

When DV signals are input, the AGC does not function and channels are not linked. This symbol does not appear with a DV connection.

Notes

•Changing REF LEVEL on the AUDIO SET menu does not change the audio gain of the unit. According to the level of sounds you want to record, select an appropriate gain by setting the INPUT LEVEL selector on the rear panel. Then, adjust the audio recording levels using the AUDIO REC LEVEL control knobs.

•The standard output level of the AUDIO OUT connectors of the unit is +4 dBu. This is equivalent to –20 dB level for the full-bit maximum audio level (–18 dB level for the DSR-45P). This value is fixed and is not affected by the setting of REF LEVEL on the AUDIO SET menu.

The fine audio levels screen displays narrower audio levels around the audio levels (–12/–18/–20 dB) selected in REF LEVEL on the AUDIO SET menu.
