Chapter 1 Overview
Notes
• You can dub sounds only on a tape on which signals
are recorded in the 32 kHz audio mode (4 channels,
12 bit) and in the DVCAM format.
• You can select a pair of channels to dub sounds using
AUDIO DUB on the AUDIO SET menu.
• You cannot perform audio dubbing using a sound
signal input via the DV jack. This symbol does not
appear when DV signals are input.
3 Link symbol
If the AGC (Auto Gain Control) of a pair of channels
is linked, this symbol is placed between the channels.
In the EE mode, if AGC CH1, 2 on the AUDIO SET
menu is set to LINKED and the AUDIO INPUT
switch is set to AUTO, channels 1 and 2 can be linked
for AGC operation and for stereo sound where channel
1 is set for the left sound and channel 2 is set for the
right sound.
In the EE mode, if AGC CH3, 4 on the AUDIO SET
menu is set to LINKED and the AUDIO INPUT
switch is to AUTO, channels 3 and 4 can be linked for
AGC operation and for stereo sound where channel 3
is set for the left sound and channel 4 is set for the
right sound.
Note
When DV signals are input, the AGC does not
function and channels are not linked. This symbol does
not appear with a DV connection.

When the audio screen is displayed, pressing the FINE
(AUDIO) button displays the fine audio levels screen.

The fine audio levels screen displays narrower audio
levels around the audio levels (–12/–18/–20 dB)
selected in REF LEVEL on the AUDIO SET menu.
Notes
• Changing REF LEVEL on the AUDIO SET menu
does not change the audio gain of the unit. According
to the level of sounds you want to record, select an
appropriate gain by setting the INPUT LEVEL
selector on the rear panel. Then, adjust the audio
recording levels using the AUDIO REC LEVEL
control knobs.
• The standard output level of the AUDIO OUT
connectors of the unit is +4 dBu. This is equivalent to
–20 dB level for the full-bit maximum audio level
(–18 dB level for the DSR-45P). This value is fixed
and is not affected by the setting of REF LEVEL on
the AUDIO SET menu.
