Select the audio mode.
Select either 2-channel mode (2 CHANNEL) or 4-
channel mode (4 CHANNEL) with the REC MODE
menu item
• When recording in DVCAM format or DV (SP)
format, two audio recording modes, with either two
channels at 48 kHz or four channels at 32 kHz, can
be used. It is not possible to select any other mode
(for example with four channels at 48 kHz).
Recording in HDV format is two channels, 48 kHz.
• During audio editing, if a signal used in assemble or
insert editing is in a different mode from the audio
signal recorded on the tape, the signals will be
discontinuous at the edit points, and correct editing
will not be obtained. For this reason, the menu
settings on this unit are arranged to inhibit audio
editing between different modes.
For smooth editing operations, check the audio
recording mode of the tape beforehand.
• Once you have started recording, you cannot change
the audio mode or recording format.
• If on a tape there is a point where the audio mode is
switched, it is not possible to carry out insert editing
over a section including that point.
• When, in 4-channel mode, analog audio is selected
for all four channels (channels 1/2 and 3/4), the same
