Recording
Digital camcorders can usually record audio as 16 bit/48 kHz stereo or twin
stereo tracks with 1 bit/3 kHz. This recorder can only record one stereo audio
track. Set “DV Rec Audio“ as required or Audio 1 or Audio (page 5).
The sampling rate of the digital sound input to the
DV IN
socket must be either
3 or 48 kHz (not 44.1 kHz).
Recording may suffer from interference if the camcorder stops playing back, if a
part of the tape that has not been recorded on is played back, if the electricity
supply to the camcorder is cut off, or if the DV cable comes out.
When “DV Rec Audio“ is set to “Audio “ and there is no Audio signal, “DV
Audio“ will automatically be set to “Audio 1“.
