AUDIO AND VIDEO DUBBING

The audio and video dubbing feature lets you record new audio (sound) and video (pictures)

simultaneously on a previously recorded tape.

When you audio and video dub a tape, the previous audio and video are erased and replaced

with the new sound and pictures. The replacement audio and video can be the sound and

picture taken by the camera or from a video source connected to "AUDIO" and "VIDEO" on the

camcorder.

NOTE: When dubbing the sound and picture from a video source, set "AV OUT/IN" to the "IN"

position. When dubbing the sound and picture from the camera, set "AV OUT/IN" to 'OUT"

and do not connect "AUDIO" and "VIDEO" jacks.
