either two channels at 48 kHz or four channels at 32 kHz. It is not
possible to select other modes (for example with four channels at 48
kHz).
• When recording in 4-channel mode on this VCR, audio signals are
recorded only in channels 1/2.
• Once you have started recording, you cannot change the audio mode
selection.

Use the AUDIO INPUT LEVEL control knobs to adjust audio input
levels.
Watching the audio level meter (see page 7), adjust the level so that
the meter does not indicate higher values than 0 dB when the audio
signal is at its maximum.
When the level exceeds 0 dB, sound distortion occurs.
• Insert a source tape.
• If the player VCR has an EDIT switch, set it to ON.
• Turn off the on-screen display.
• Set the LANC mode to M.
Note
With the DV connection, the playback VCR's AUDIO MONITOR (sound
selection) and AUDIO MIX BALANCE (audio balance adjustment) do not
function on the source audio output through the DV jack.
