Dubbing/Editing

Dubbing sound to a
recorded tape

You can record additional audio to the
original sound on the tape. You can add
sound to a tape already recorded in the 12-bit
mode without erasing the original sound.

Preparing for audio recording

Record audio in one of the following ways.

• Using the internal microphone (no connection

required).

• Connecting a microphone (optional) to the

MIC jack.

The audio input to be recorded takes precedence
over others in the order of MIC jack

t internal

microphone.

Notes

• You cannot record additional audio:

– When the tape is recorded in the 16-bit mode.
– When the tape is recorded in the LP mode.
– When your camcorder is connected via the i.LINK

cable.

– On blank sections of the tape.
– When the write-protect tab of the cassette is set to

SAVE.

• When you are using the internal microphone to

record additional sound, the picture will not be
output from the A/V OUT jack. Check the picture on
the LCD screen or the viewfinder.

• When you use an external microphone (optional) to

record additional audio, you can check the picture

and the sound by connecting your camcorder to a TV
using the A/V connecting cable. However, the sound
you have recorded afterwards is not output from the
speaker. Check the sound by using a TV.
