Using the Unit as a Videocassette Recorder

8

Adjust the audio recording level with [AUDIO REC 
LV] in the [AUDIO SET] menu, if necessary 

(page 

54)

.

You can adjust [AUDIO REC LV] only when you 
have selected [OFF] in step 

7

.

Adjust not to reach the maximum value of the audio 
level meter even when the audio is at the maximum 
volume. When the meter turns red, the sound will be 
distorted.

• When the unit records in DVCAM (DV) format, it 

supports two audio modes, with either 2-channels at 
FS48K or 4-channels at FS32K. It is not possible to 
select other modes (for example with 2-channels at 
FS32K).

• During recording, you cannot change the audio mode. 
• If you intend to dub audio after recording, select 

whether [DVCAM] or [DV SP] of[

REC MODE]  

in the [IN/OUT REC] menu according to the unit you 
will use for audio dubbing. Then, set [AUDIO MODE] 
in the [AUDIO SET] menu to [FS32K] (4- channel 
mode) before recording 

(page 54)

(The unit does not 

have an audio dubbing function.)

This section describes the procedures used to record 
signals sent from another VCR to the unit.

For details on operation when the unit is connected to a 
computer via the  HDV/DV jack, refer to “Editing 
(Connecting a Computer)” on page 45.

1

Insert a cassette and confirm that the 

q

 (cassette) 

indicator lights up.

2

Press the playback button on the player. 

The player starts playback.

3

On the unit, press the PLAY button while holding 
the REC button down.

When the unit records HDV format images, it takes a 
while until recording starts. This delay, however, is not 
an error. ([STBY] is displayed on the screen and the 
REC indicator blinks until recording starts.) 

To stop recording 

Press the STOP button on the unit. 

To pause recording 

Press the PAUSE button on the unit. 

You cannot up convert NTSC or PAL signals in the 
HDV format for recording. 

Marking an index 

By pressing the INDEX button on the unit or the 
INDEX MARK button on the Remote Commander 
during recording, you can mark an index signal at any 
place on the tape. If you mark an index at a scene you 
want to be able to search for, you can easily find the 
scene later. When [AUTO INDEX] in the [VTR SET] 
menu is set to [ON] 

(page 55)

, if you start recording 

while the tape is stopped, the unit automatically marks 
an index. While the index is being marked, the 

indicator appears for about seven seconds on the 

Data display screen 

(page 18)

• You cannot mark a new index while the 

indicator is 

being displayed.

• If you record on a portion of the tape where an index 

has been marked, the index will be erased. You cannot 
delete just an index while keeping the image or sound. 

• You cannot mark an index during playback or audio 

dubbing operations. The INDEX button and the 
INDEX MARK button are disabled in these 
operations. 

To use an index during playback 

See “Searching using the search function” on page 34.
