Audio Recording

Selecting the audio mode
E
ELURA can record sound in two audio modes — 16-bit and 12-bit. The 16-bit
mode produces the higher sound quality (slightly superior to CD) while the 12-bit
mode records on two channels (stereo 1), leaving two channels free (stereo 2) for
you to add new sound at a later date.
(see p. 30, 31)
1. To switch to the 16-bit mode, open the menu and select AUDIO
MODE.
2. Select "16 bit" and close the menu.
• "16 bit" is shown in the display for approximately four seconds.
Notes:
• For details on adding new sound, see p. 82.
• For details of playing back a tape that has new sound on stereo 2, see page 89.
• If you add sound to a tape through audio dubbing then turn the POWER switch
to VCR, the audio mode becomes automatically set to 12-bit.
• When you record to the ELURA from a camcorder with DV terminal outputs,
the audio mode display becomes set to "– – –."
