Sony CCD-TRV608 - Manual (Page 45)

Recording sound with a microphone or other sound output device can be
performed while previewing a movie to which the sound will later be added. This is
useful in synchronizing narration or background music to specific scenes of a
movie. The files can then be added to movies you create yourself with the
ImageMixer software.
1.
Connect the microphone or other sound output device to the
appropriate input jack on your computer.
2.
Select the thumbnail of the file to which the sound will later be
added.
If necessary, change the currently selected album in the album list window.
3.
Confirm that the [Preview On/Off] button is active (colored bright
yellow).
A preview of the file selected in step 2 will be displayed.
4.
Confirm the "off" position of the volume control.
To prevent the original sound of the movie from interfering with the sound you are about
to record, make sure that the volume control slider indicates the lowest volume possible,
effectively turning it off.
5.
Select an album.
Select the album from the album list window into which you wish to save the recorded
sound files.
6.
Cue up the movie playback by clicking the [Play] button or by
dragging the play position slider to the point at which you later plan
to add sound.
7.
Click the [Record] button.
The movie will play and recording will start.
8.
Click the [Stop] button at the point you wish to stop
recording.
The audio format of digitally recorded files is PCM, the sampling rate is 44.1KHz, and the
bit rate is 16bit stereo. In Windows, the file type of recorded files is WAVE. In Mac, AIFF
files are created. Files are saved in the Save location designated in the
Capturing/Recording Preferences, but are, of course, added directly to the album selected
in step 2. To confirm successful recording of sound files, double-click their thumbnail icon
in the thumbnail list window.
