Using tone output
The tone output function can be used to automatically insert
a tone signal whenever recording starts and stops.
By connecting the /LINE OUT jack on the left side of the
unit and the external mic input jack of a video camera or
digital camera capable of recording video and using the
AUTO TONE function, the same tone signal can be recorded
to files on both units. These tones can be used as guides
when synchronizing the files in video editing software.
