Audio Dubbing
You can record just sound on a recorded tape.
(Audio dubbing)
Notes
• You can dub the sound onto a DVCAM-formatted
tape (recorded) in the 32 kHz audio mode (4-channel/
12 bits). You cannot dub the sound on a tape in the
48 kHz audio mode (2-channel/16 bits). If the audio
mode of the recorded tape is 32 kHz, you can dub the
sound regardless of the AUDIO MODE setting on
the AUDIO SET menu.
For details on "AUDIO MODE," see "AUDIO SET

a) If the player could not read the cassette memory when
duplication started, this unit determines that the player's
cassette does not have cassette memory and duplication
of the cassette memory will be cancelled. The duplicate
operation will be completed without duplicating the
cassette memory and this warning message will not be
displayed.
b) This unit detects tape length from the cassette memory
data. Even if two tapes with the same length in the
DVCAM format have been inserted in the player and the
recorder (this unit), complete duplication may not be
done due to the tape length error and this warning may
not be displayed. As a result, if you search the cassette
memory in the duplicated tape, the tape may not have a
search point even though the cassette memory has the
search point data.
c) If the cassette in the player does not have cassette
memory, this warning is not displayed.
