Dual Mono Recording; Dv Input; Input Level (L1 / L2 / L3); Audio Out Settings - Pioneer DVR-520H Operating Instructions Manual

The Initial Setup menu
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 dual mono. This has
priority over the setting you make here.

can choose to record either the L (left), or the R (right)
audio channel.
Note
• If you're recording in VR mode (except when set to
FINE / MN 32), both channels will be recorded and
you can switch them as you like on playback.

You need to set this if you have a camcorder using 32kHz/

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%.
