Flexible Recording Mode (Fr); Watching The Television While Recording - Panasonic DMR-HS2 Operating Instructions Manual

ªTo Manually Adjust the Audio Recording Level
The unit adjusts the recording level automatically to prevent sound
distortion due to excessive peaks.
However, if you want to manually adjust the audio recording level,
perform the operation steps below before you start the actual
recording. We recommend you to adjust the level so that it peaks
at approximately from -10 to -5 dB on the recording level indicator.
Before recording, keep pressing [AUDIO] (31) for 3
1
or more seconds.
To adjust the left (L) and right (R) channels simultaneously:
2 Confirm that "L/R" is selected and use [2, 1] (10)
to adjust the audio recording level.
3 Press [ENTER] (10) to exit the On Screen Display.
To adjust the left (L) and right (R) channels individually:
Use [3, 4] (10) to select either the left (L) or right
2
(R) channel and individually adjust their audio
recording level with [2, 1] (10).
Example:
When the left (L) channel is
selected.
Press [ENTER] (10) to exit
3
the On Screen Display.
For your reference
≥If L or R are selected, this unit will initially allow you to adjust only
the audio recording level of that channel. If you wish to adjust the
audio recording level of other channels, specify the channel by
repeatedly pressing [AUDIO] and adjust using [2, 1] (10).
≥It is not possible to adjust the audio recording level when
recording from DV equipment.
