AUDIO DUBBING

The audio dubbing feature lets you record new audio (sound) on a previously recorded tape

without erasing the original video (picture).

When you audio dub a tape, the previous audio is erased and replaced with new sound.

NOTES:

• Sound from the built-in microphone and the AUDIO jack can be dubbed.

• When dubbing audio from the built-in microphone, set "" OUT/IN" to "OUT" and do not

connect the "AUDIO" jack. When dubbing audio from the "AUDIO" jack, set "" OUT/IN" to "IN".
