Audio Dubbing
For adding soundtracks such as narration or music to previously-recorded video tapes.

Adding a Voice Over:
In addition to the left and right Hi-Fi audio tracks there is another soundtrack called the �normal audio track�. This �normal audio track� is a mono track, recorded by all VTR recorders. When you record, the VTR uses the left and right Hi-Fi tracks for the normal stereo sound, but it also records a mono version of the soundtrack on the �normal audio track�. If you wish, you can record your own soundtrack onto this, the �normal audio track�, without affecting the soundtrack on the Hi-Fi. This is ideal for putting a �voice over� onto a home movie recorded on a camcorder. In this way, you can keep the original soundtrack, but it means you can also add your own commentary.

Plug a microphone into the MIC socket on the front of the VTR. Insert the tape to be OVER-DUBBED (the tape with the new audio track to be recorded onto). Find the the scene that you want to over-dub and press PAUSE/STILL on the Remote Control. Press the A. DUB (audio dub) button on the Remote Control. (The screen may flicker, this is normal.) Press the PAUSE/STILL button again to start both the playback and the Audio dub record. Speak into the microphone to add your commentary etc.

Alternatively:
Connect suitable equipment e.g. cassette recorder to the LINE-IN-2 phono sockets on the front of the VTR.

If recording from LINE-IN-2 remember to disconnect any microphones. Follow from step 2 above to confirm: When listening to the tape, use the A.SELECT button to select the required option.

See page 34 for the selection of soundtracks.
