Selectable audio recording mode

Notes
• In the DVCAM format, there are two audio
recording modes, that is, two channel, 48-kHz
mode and four-channel, 32-kHz mode. It is not
possible to select other modes (for example, four-
channel, 48-kHz mode).
• If an audio signal in a different mode than the
base tape is used in assemble or insert editing, the
signals will be discontinuous at the edit points
and correct editing will not be obtained. For this
reason, audio editing between different modes is
inhibited on this unit.
For smooth editing operations, check the audio
recording mode of the base tape beforehand. If on
a tape there is a point where the audio mode is
switched, you cannot perform an insert editing on
that point.
• Once you have started recording, you cannot
change the audio mode selection.
Use the AUDIO INPUT PRESET/VARIABLE
switch and the AUDIO INPUT CH 1 to CH-4 level
adjustment knobs to adjust the audio input levels.
Watching the audio level meter, adjust the levels
so that the meter does not indicate higher values
than 0 dB when the audio signals are at their
maximum.
