7-12 Audio Dubbing

7-12-1 Tapes to which Audio Dubbing can be Added

Audio dubbing can only be added to tapes with 1 2-bit/SP recording (other than 4-channel simultaneous recording). The camcorder
switches to Stop mode if audio dubbing is attempted on other tapes.
The camcorder switches to Stop mode (a warning is displayed) if LP mode is detected, or if any of the following are detected: 1 6-
bit mode, 4-channel simultaneous recording, no recording, SDL recording.

7-12-2 Selecting an Audio Dubbing Signal Input Source

Select an audio dubbing input source on the VCR menu. (There is no menu on PAL models. The microphone is the only audio
dubbing input source for these models.)
There are two audio dubbing options: "Line (AV terminal)" and "Microphone". If Microphone is selected and an external micro-
phone is connected, then the external microphone is used as input. If no external microphone is connected, then the built-in
microphone is used as input.
The settings for line video output are as follows.
(1) When AV terminal input is used: The S terminal and AV terminal are set to Input mode. The speaker output can be monitored.
(2) When external microphone input is used : The S terminal and AV terminal are set to Output mode. The speaker is off and line
(3) When built-in microphone input is used : The S terminal and AV terminal are set to Output.

7-12-3 Audio Dubbing Procedure

(1) In VCR mode, play and pause the tape at the position where you want to add audio dubbing. Next, press the [Audio dubbing] button
on the remote control.
The camcorder switches to Audio Dubbing mode (Audio Dubbing pause), and
panel (CVF).
(2) Push the Pause [ ] button and input the audio through the microphone, etc.
This starts the audio dubbing process.
(3) When you want to stop, press the Stop [I] button.
Audio Dubbing mode ends and the Audio Dubbing display disappears. The camcorder is stopped.
• You can press the Pause [ ] button instead of the Stop [I] button to return to the condition in step (1) (Audio Dubbing pause)
without exiting Audio Dubbing mode.
• Another way to exit Audio Dubbing mode is to press the [Audio Dubbing] button during Audio Dubbing pause.
• If the [Zero Set Memory] button on the remote control is pressed in advance at the tape position where you want audio dubbing
to end, then after step (2), the camcorder will automatically stop at the set position and audio dubbing will end.

7-12-4 CGMS

• A CGMSA signal added to an analog-input video signal cannot be detected while a tape is being played. During audio dubbing,
the yellow video terminal must be disconnected.
• Do not activate Audio Dubbing mode at copy-protected locations on a copy-protected tape. When the tape moves from a
copyable area to a copy-protected area, the camcorder stops.
