Audio Dubbing - Canon XL 1s Instruction Manual

Audio Dubbing

You can add sound to the original sound on a pre-recorded tape from audio products (AUDIO 1) or with the
provided or external microphone (MIC). The original sound will not be erased. For best results, add sound
to tapes that have been recorded with this camcorder in SP mode with 12-bit ST-1 sound. If there are non-
recorded portions on the tape, or portions recorded in a mode other than SP mode, or with 16-bit or 12-bit,
4-channel sound, dubbing will stop. If your tape hasn't been recorded in SP mode with 12-bit ST-1 sound,
we recommend dubbing your original tape onto a blank tape using the XL1S's analog line-in function, then
dubbing audio onto the new tape. Make absolutely sure to set the audio mode of the new tape to 12-bit ST-1
and the recording mode to SP.
• You cannot add audio using the AUDIO 2 terminal.
To connect other audio equipment (using AUDIO 1 IN terminal) :
Note:
• When you are using the AUDIO1 RCA phono plug, the video or S-video terminal doesn't put out any
video, so check the viewfinder as you add new sound. When you are using the microphone, you can check
your TV connected by video terminal or S-video terminal.
