Selecting The Audio Output - Canon XL1 Instruction Manual

Selecting the Audio Output

E
Set the audio output in two main stages: (i) Selecting the audio mix
(i) Selecting the audio mix
When you play back a tape that was recorded in 12 bit mode, you can select the output:
Stereo 1, Stereo 2, or a mixture of the two.
• Audio from the 16 bit mode only contains stereo 1 sound and so you cannot/do not need to select the
audio mix. The same is true for the 12 bit stereo 1 mode, unless new sound has been added post-
recording. Go directly to stage (ii).
• You only need to release the fixed level (step 2) if your aim is to mix the balance.
1. Set the camera to VCR mode.
2. Release the fixed level (for audio mixing only).
(see p. 18)
a) Open the VCR menu and point the arrow at MIX SELECT.

last pressed the button.
