AUDIO EDITING
The camcorder’s audio editing feature lets you
record a new soundtrack onto a previously re-
corded tape without erasing the original picture.
When you use audio editing, you replace the au-
dio on the tape with new sound. You can use
sounds picked up by the camcorder’s built-in mi-
crophone or signals from an audio source con-
nected to the camcorder’s
AUDIO
jack.
Notes:
• If you connect an audio source, always use
video quality shielded cables with phono-
type connectors (such as Cat. No. 15-1540,
not supplied) to connect the camcorder’s
AUDIO
jack to the audio source’s AUDIO
OUT jack.
• Do not use a standard audio cable for this
connection.
1. If you are not using the camcorder’s built-in
microphone as an audio source, connect
the audio source’s AUDIO OUT jack to the
camcorder’s
AUDIO
jack.
