Notes on audio dubbing
• A new sound cannot be recorded on a tape already recorded in the 16-bit mode
(32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz).
• When an external microphone is not connected, the recording will be made through
the built-in microphone of the camcorder.
• A new sound cannot be recorded on a tape already recorded in the LP mode.
• If you add a new sound on a tape recorded with another camcorder (including
DCR-TRV5), the sound quality may become worse.
• When you record a playback pause picture with the DV jack, you cannot add audio
to that portion of the tape.
• You cannot add audio with the AUDIO/VIDEO OUT or DV jack.
