Note
• Many recent PAL TVs are capable of correctly
displaying NTSC pictures without the need for this
setting. Check the manual that came with your TV if
you’re not sure whether yours has this feature.
Audio In settings
NICAM Select
• Default setting:
NICAM
If you want to record the non-NICAM audio in a TV
broadcast, select
Regular Audio
, otherwise set to
NICAM
. (When set to
NICAM
, you can still select
Regular Audio
using the
AUDIO
button. See
Changing
audio channels
on page 28.)
Tuner Level
• Default setting:
Normal
Set to
Compression
if the audio level from the built-in
tuner is excessively high causing distortion.
External Audio
• Default setting:
Stereo
If the external source is standard stereo, leave set to
Stereo
. If each channel carries a separate soundtrack,
change to
Bilingual
.
When the external audio is from the DV input, an audio
subcode channel within the DV audio tells the recorder
whether the audio is stereo or bilingual. This has priority
over the setting you make here.
Bilingual Recording
• Default setting:
A/L
When recording a bilingual source from an external input
in Video mode or VR mode set to
FINE/MN32
, or to the
HDD, you can choose to record either the
A/L
(left), or
the
B/R
(right) audio channel.
Note
• If you’re recording in VR mode (except when set to
FINE/MN32
), both channels will be recorded and you
can switch them as you like on playback.
DV Input
• Default setting:
Stereo1
You need to set this if you have a camcorder using 32kHz/
12-bit sound connected to the front panel
DV IN/OUT
jack.
Some digital camcorders have two stereo tracks for
audio. One is recorded at the time of shooting; the other
is for overdubbing after shooting.
On the
Stereo1
setting, the sound that was recorded
while shooting is used. On the
Stereo2
setting, the
overdubbed sound is used. You can also choose a
Mix
setting of 25%, 50% or 75% for the Stereo 1 with a
corresponding Stereo 2 setting of 75%, 50% or 25%.
