If necessary, adjust the audio recording level by
turning the AUDIO REC LEVEL control knobs.
You can adjust the recording level with the
AUDIO REC LEVEL control knobs if you have
selected MANU in step
7 . While looking at the
STATUS CHECK screen, turn the AUDIO REC
LEVEL control knobs to adjust the recording level.
Adjust the audio recording level so that it does not
exceed 0 dB when the audio signal is at its
maximum. If the recording level exceeds 0 dB, the
recorded sound will be distorted.
Notes
• In the DVCAM format, there are two audio modes,
with either two channels at FS48K or four channels at
FS32K. It is not possible to select other modes (for
example with two channels at FS32K).
• During recording, you cannot change the audio mode.
• If you intend to dub audio after recording, select the
DVCAM format, then set [AUDIO MODE] on the
[AUDIO SET] menu to [FS32K] (4-channel mode)
before recording. (p. 47)

Recording Functions
Marking an index
By pressing the INDEX button on the unit or the
INDEX WRITE button on the Remote Commander
during recording, you can mark an index signal at any
place on the tape. The index signal is inserted for
seven seconds. If you mark an index at the scene you
want to search for, you can easily find the scene later.
While the index is being marked, the
indicator
appears for about seven seconds on the Data screen
(see page 19).
Notes
• You cannot mark a new index while the indicator
is being displayed.
• If you record on a portion of the tape where an index
has been marked, the index will be erased. You
cannot delete just an index while keeping the image
or sound.
• You cannot mark an index during playback or audio
dubbing operations. The INDEX button and the
INDEX WRITE button are disabled in these
operations.
To use an index during playback
See “Searching using the search function” on page 30.
