Your AG-HPX500P/E is factory-set to perform no
recording on Audio Channels 3 and 4 in the DVCPRO
and DV formats. To enable four-channel recording, the
menu option 25M REC CH SEL on the AUDIO SETUP
screen must be set to 4CH.
For details on switch settings and the input system,
see [AUDIO IN switch] (page 16).
<Note>
• The audio signals recorded on the four channels are
output as is (SDI).
• With a front microphone (such as AG-MC200G)
connected, setting CH1 of the AUDIO IN switch to
FRONT2, setting CH2-CH4 to FRONT and setting the
MONITOR SELECT CH1/2 / CH3/4 selector switch to
CH3 or CH4 will result in no sound output to CH3.
Use the AUDIO SETUP screen in the setting menu to
make detailed audio settings.
