Recording the stereo sound

You can record either stereo sound or monaural sound using the supplied stereo microphone.

To record the stereo sound:

To record the L and R audio signals of the stereo sound in channels 1 and 2, set both AUDIO IN CH-1 and CH-2 switches to FRONT.

To record the L and R audio signals of the stereo sound in channels 3 and 4, set both AUDIO IN CH-3 and CH-4 switches to F.

Slide the ASSIGN 2 switch to the front (lens side). If you have removed the FRONT MIC SELECT function from the ASSIGN 2 switch, set FRONT MIC SELECT to STEREO on the FUNCTION 1 page of the USER menu or OPERATION menu.

To record the monaural sound:

Set the appropriate AUDIO IN CH-1, CH-2, CH-3 and/or CH-4 switch(es) corresponding to the channel(s) to which you want to record the monaural sound to FRONT or F.
