Note
When recording mixed signals by setting this switch to
MIX, be sure to confirm that the emphasis settings of the
two channels (on/off) are the same. If they are different,
the camcorder cannot record or play back mixed signals
correctly.
When the AES/EBU format audio signal is selected, the
emphasis settings are determined by the channel status of
the AES/EBU format audio signal (emphasis bit).
When an audio signal other than the AES/EBU format
audio signal is selected, the emphasis setting depends on
the setting of AU REC EMPHASIS
the AUDIO 2 page of the MAINTENANCE menu.
Use this in combination with other buttons.
