Audio Dubbing
The audio dubbing function lets you record new sound onto the normal (mono) audio track.
Although this erases the original sound on the normal audio track, the sound on the Hi-Fi audio tracks remains unchanged.
Use this function to add narration or background music to previously made recordings.
Preparations:
• Connect the audio equipment or a video movie camera to this VCR with an audio cable.
• Select the video playback channel/AV input on your TV.
• Insert the cassette on which the audio dubbing is to be performed, and ensure that its erasure prevention tab is intact.
• Press the [INPUT SELECT] button
(3)
to select the AV Input (external input) [A1], [A2] or [A3] depending on the socket(s)
on the VCR to which you have connected the source unit.
A1: When connected to the AV1 21-pin Scart socket
(52)
A2: When connected to the AV2 21-pin Scart socket
(51)
• Make sure that [AV2] is set to [NORMAL]. (See page 39.)
A3: When connecting a mono source to the front inputs use the left audio connector only.
• Use the L connector for operations in the normal (monaural) mode.
