Audio Recording Selecting the audio mode E (see p. 28) AUDIO MODE••16bit ZR can record sound in two audio modes - 16 bit (48kHz, 2 channel) and 12 bit (32 kHz, 4 channel). The 16 bit mode produces the higher sound quality (slightly superior to CD) while the 12 bit mode records on two channels (stereo 1), leaving two channels free (stereo 2) for you to add new sound at a later date. 1. To switch to the 12 bit mode open the camera menu and select AUDIO MODE. 2. Select "12 bit" and close the menu. • "12 bit" is shown in the display for approximately 4 seconds. Notes: • You cannot add new sound to a tape using this camcorder. • For details of playing back a tape that has new sound on stereo 2, see page 63. Headphones and external microphone For greater creative control over audio recording, you can connect an external microphone to the camera via the DU-100 Docking Unit's MIC terminal. DV/OUT You can monitor the sound while MIC m AUDIO recording by attaching stereo VIDEO OUT headphones to the camera's terminal (this terminal also doubles as the Audio Video Out socket). You can adjust the volume of attached headphones by turning the select dial when the camera is in VCR mode (p. 19). • A VOLUME bar appears in the display to indicate the current volume. • The select dial also controls the speaker volume once you remove the headphones from the headphone socket (p. 20).
