Recording Features (coni.)
Vídeo Dubbing
The video dubbing feature lets you
record new video (picture) on a
pre\iousIy recorded tape without
erasing the original audio (sound).
When you video dub a tape, the
previous video is erased and replaced
with the new video.
When video dubbing, the source for
the video dub is “whatever you are
seeing in the viewfinder”.
The new video you want to put on the
tape can be added one of two
different ways:
• from whatever you focus the
camcorder on and see in the
viewfinder.
• from video coming in through the
camcorder’s AV IN jack (using the

PLAY in step 6 at the right. Be sure
to connect both the Audio & Video
Plugs to the VCR, Tape Deck, or
