If the external source is standard stereo, leave set to
Stereo. If each channel carries a separate soundtrack,
change to Bilingual.
When the external audio is from the DV input, an audio
subcode channel within the DV audio tells the recorder
whether the audio is stereo or bilingual. This has priority
over the setting you make here.

Note
• If you're recording in VR mode (except when set to
FINE/MN32), both channels will be recorded and you
can switch them as you like on playback.

Some digital camcorders have two stereo tracks for
audio. One is recorded at the time of shooting; the other
is for overdubbing after shooting.
On the Stereo1 setting, the sound that was recorded
while shooting is used. On the Stereo2 setting, the
overdubbed sound is used. You can also choose a Mix
setting of 25%, 50% or 75% for the Stereo 1 with a
corresponding Stereo 2 setting of 75%, 50% or 25%.
