Cautions
• In the DVCAM format, there are two audio recording modes, with 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).
• During audio editing, if a signal used in assemble or insert editing is in a
different mode from the base tape, the signals will be discontinuous at the
edit points, and correct editing will not be obtained. For this reason, audio
editing between different modes is inhibited on this unit.
For smooth editing operations, check the audio recording mode of the
base tape beforehand.
• Once you have started recording, you cannot change the audio mode
selection.
• If on a tape there is a point where the audio mode is switched, it is not
possible to carry out insert editing over a section including that point.
• When, in 4-channel mode, analog audio is selected for all four channels
(channels 1/2 and 3/4), the same analog audio signals are recorded on
channels 1 and 3 and on channels 2 and 4, respectively.
