Audio dubbing

This feature lets you record over the

normal audio track. The monaural

sound previously recorded is replaced

while the original sound remains

unchanged. Use this feature to add

commentary to a tape that you have

recorded with a camcorder. To use this

feature, connect another VCR or stereo

system to the LINE-2 IN jacks on the

VCR.

Before you start editing…

• Turn on your TV and set it to the

video channel.
