Audio Recording
To switch to the 16 bit mode, open the menu and select VCR SET UP. Then
select AUDIO MODE, set it to 16 bit and close the menu.
• “16 bit” is shown in the display for approximately 4 seconds.
• For details on adding new sound, see p. 88.
• For details of playing back a tape that has new sound on stereo 2, see p. 91.
• When you record to the ELURA10/ELURA20 MC from a camcorder with DV
terminal outputs, the audio mode display becomes set to “– – –.”
• When the recording mode is set to
SP or
LP mode, the audio mode
becomes automatically set to 12 bit (1 channel only).
Selecting the audio mode
ELURA10/ELURA20 MC can record sound on a tape in two audio modes — 16
bit and 12 bit. The 16 bit mode produces the higher sound quality (slightly
superior to CD) while the 12 bit mode records on two channels (stereo 1), leaving
2 channels free (stereo 2) for you to add new sound at a later date.

External microphone and headphones
For greater creative control over audio recording, you can connect an external
microphone to the camera via the DU-300 Docking Unit’s MIC terminal.
When using the MIC terminal, use a microphone with a built-in power supply
(condenser microphone). It is possible to connect almost any stereo microphone
with a plug diameter of
1
/
8
inch (3.5 mm), however, their audio levels will be
different from that of the built-in microphone.
Attach the microphone to the optional SA-1 Adapter Bracket.
