In normal recording conditions, the camera sets the audio recording level automatically as long as you slide
the REC LEVEL switch to A (automatic).
You can also set the recording level manually:
1. Set the recording level for stereo 1 in exactly the same way as for 2 channel recording.
2. Set the recording level for stereo 2 by sliding the REC LEVEL switch of the AUDIO 2
controls to M (manual).
3. Turn the L and R dials to independently adjust the recording levels of the 2 inputs
(corresponding to the L and R channels of the AUDIO 2 RCA jacks).
• Check the levels for each channel in the audio LCD panel.
• It is essential for you to monitor the sound using headphones.
• Adjust the headphone volume by rotating the PHONES LEVEL dial.
Setting the recording level for 4 channel recording
