To adjust the audio recording levels
When carrying out audio recording at a reference
level
Leave the REC knobs pressed in. The audio signals will be
recorded at a preset reference level (a reference –20 dB
indication for an input of +4 dBm).
To manually adjust the recording levels
For each channel, press to protrude the REC knobs, and
adjust so that the audio level indication is close to 0 dB for
an average volume. Carry out the adjustment in E-E mode.
For details of selecting the E-E mode, see the description
of the REC knobs (page 19) and the F6 (PB/EE) setting in
function menu page P01: HOME (page 64).
To change the display range of the audio
level indications
In function menu page P08: AUD INP, select F4
(MT.SCALE) (see page 68).
To monitor the simultaneous playback of
the recorded video and audio signals
during recording
In function menu page P01: HOME, select F7 (CONFI)
and set it to “ENABLE” (see page 64). It is now possible
to simultaneously monitor the video and audio signals
being recorded.
To use the emphasis function
To add emphasis to the analog input audio signal or analog
playback audio signal, select F1 (EMPHASIS) in function
menu page P08: AUD INP and set it to “ON” (see
page 68).
When the signal to which emphasis has been applied is
played back, it is automatically subjected to deemphasis
processing.
Using the emphasis-deemphasis processing improves the
dynamic range by reducing high-frequency noise.
4-1-2 Recording Timecode and User
Bit Values
There are two ways of recording timecode, as follows:
• Setting an initial value, then recording the output of the
internal timecode generator
• Recording the output of the internal timecode generator
synchronized with an external timecode generator
To set an initial value then record the
timecode
If necessary, change the settings in function menu page
P02: TC (see page 65).

Select F5 (CLR CNT).
