Audio Recording
To switch to the 16-bit mode, open the menu and select VCR SET UP.
Then select AUDIO MODE, set it to “16 bit” and close the menu.
• “16 bit” is shown in the display for approximately 4 seconds.
Notes:
• For details on adding new sound, see p. 96.
• For details of playing back a tape that has new sound on stereo 2, see p. 99.
• When you record to the MV6i MC from a camcorder with DV terminal outputs,
the audio mode becomes automatically set to 12 bit.
• In PLAY (VCR) mode, the audio mode takes effect when doing analog line-in
recording or AV insert. When you do DV in recording, the setting automatically
changes to that of the digital device connected to the camcorder.
External microphone
Selecting the audio mode
The camcorder can record sound in two audio modes — 16-bit and 12-bit. The
16-bit mode produces the higher sound quality (slightly superior to CD) while the
12-bit mode records on 2 channels (stereo 1), leaving 2 channels free (stereo 2)
for you to add new sound at a later time.

For greater creative control over audio recording, you can connect an external
microphone to the camcorder via the MIC terminal. When using the MIC terminal,
use a microphone with a built-in power supply (condenser microphone). It is
possible to connect almost any stereo microphone with a plug diameter of 3.5 mm,
however, their audio levels will be different from that of the built-in microphone.
Attach the microphone to the optional SA-1 Adapter Bracket.
