If necessary, adjust the audio recording level by
turning the AUDIO REC LEVEL control knobs.
You can adjust the recording level with the
AUDIO REC LEVEL control knobs if you have
selected MANU in step 7. While looking at the
STATUS CHECK screen, turn the AUDIO REC
LEVEL control knobs to adjust the recording level.
Adjust the audio recording level so that it does not
exceed 0 dB when the audio signal is at its
maximum. If the recording level exceeds 0 dB, the
recorded sound will be distorted.
Notes
• In the DVCAM format, there are two audio modes,
with either two channels at FS48K or four channels at
FS32K. It is not possible to select other modes (for
example with two channels at FS32K).
• During recording, you cannot change the audio mode.
• If you intend to dub audio after recording, select the
DVCAM format, then set [AUDIO MODE] on the
[AUDIO SET] menu to [FS32K] (4-channel mode)
before recording. (p. 47)

place on the tape. The index signal is inserted for

(see page 19).
