AUDIO DUBBING   
The audio dubbing feature lets you record new audio (sound) on a previously recorded tape 
without erasing the original video (picture). 
When you audio dub a tape, the previous audio is erased and replaced with new sound. 
 
NOTES:
  
• Sound from the built-in microphone and the AUDIO jack can be dubbed.  
• When dubbing audio from the built-in microphone, set "" OUT/IN" to "OUT" and do not 
connect the "AUDIO"  jack. When dubbing audio from the "AUDIO" jack, set "" OUT/IN" to "IN". 
1. Insert a recorded tape.  
Be sure that the record safety tab is not missing. 
2. Place "CAM/OFF/VIDEO" to "VIDEO" position. 
3. Play the tape and press "REC/PAUSE" where you want to dub audio. 
• The camcorder enters the still play mode. 
4. Press "DUBBING AUDIO/VIDEO" and "PLAY" at the same time.  
• "A.DUB  "  appears in the viewfinder or LCD monitor. 
NOTE:
 If "DUBBING AUDIO/VIDEO" and "PLAY" are pressed twice, audio and video dubbing 
will start. In this case, press "STOP/EJECT" to release the dubbing mode. 
5. Press "REC/PAUSE" to start audio dubbing. 
6. Press "STOP/EJECT" to stop audio dubbing. 
 
NOTE:
 If "DISPLAY" is pressed so the display appears in the viewfinder or LCD monitor, the 
tape stops automatically at the reading of "0000M" and audio dubbing stops.
