Audio Dubbing on a Panasonic Hi-Fi VCR
General
≥
The VHS format allows audio dubbing only on the normal (mono) audio track, as the Hi-Fi audio tracks cannot be
re-recorded without erasing the video signal.
≥
This VCR's audio dubbing function features automatic recording volume level adjustment, and manual adjustment is
not possible. Therefore, when performing audio dubbing on this VCR, the volume level must be considered in advance.
If necessary, make a trial audio dubbing on another tape containing some unneeded recording, to ensure that the
volume level of the audio dubbed sound will be satisfactory.
