Recording
Digital camcorders can usually record audio as 16 bit/48 kHz stereo or twin
stereo tracks with 12 bit/32 kHz. This recorder can only record one stereo audio
track. Set “DV Rec Audio“ as required or Audio 1 or Audio 2 (page 25).
The sampling rate of the digital sound input to the DV IN socket must be either
32 or 48 kHz (not 44.1 kHz).
Recording may suffer from interference if the camcorder stops playing back, if a
part of the tape that has not been recorded on is played back, if the electricity
supply to the camcorder is cut off, or if the DV cable comes out.
When “DV Rec Audio“ is set to “Audio 2“ and there is no Audio 2 signal, “DV
Audio“ will automatically be set to “Audio 1“.
