Recording Audio
Recording the Same Audio Input to Two Channels
By default, when using the INPUT terminals, each audio input is recorded to a separate audio channel (INPUT 1
to CH1 and INPUT 2 to CH2). If necessary (for example, as an audio backup recording), you can record the
audio input into the INPUT 1 terminal to both audio channels, CH1 and CH2. In that case, you can adjust the
80
audio recording levels of each channel independently of each other.
1 Select [CH2 Input].
> [C ! Audio Setup] > [CH2 Input]
2 Select the desired option and then select [X].
Options
[ INPUT 2]: Records audio to each channel separately. Audio input into INPUT 1 is recorded to CH1, while
audio input into INPUT 2 is recorded to CH2.
[ INPUT 1]: Audio input into INPUT 1 is recorded to both channels. Audio input into INPUT 2 will not be
recorded.
Selecting the Audio Input Recorded to CH3/CH4
When the audio format is LPCM (4-channel audio recording) and CH1/CH2 are set to the INPUT terminals, you
can select the audio input that will be recorded to channels CH3/CH4 (A 78).
1 Select [CH3/CH4 Input].
