Recording Audio Signals

Recording Audio Signals
Four channels (CH-1/CH-2/CH-3/CH-4) of audio
can be recorded (Linear PCM recording) in
synchronization with video recording.
You can use the built-in stereo microphones

microphones) or 2-channel external audio inputs
to the AUDIO IN connectors by switching with
the AUDIO IN switches.

Set the input (LINE/MIC/MIC+48V)
switches CH-1 and CH-2 (page 10) to
LINE (line level: +4 dBu).
