Chapter 4 Recording and Playback 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 65). To set an initial value then record the timecode If necessary, change the settings in function menu page P02: TC (see page 66). To set an initial timecode value Use the following procedure. To change the display range of the audio level indications In function menu page P08: AUD INP, select F4 (MT.SCALE) (see page 69). 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 65). 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 69). 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 3,5 4,5 1 264,5 In function menu page P02: TC, set F1 (TCG SRC) to "INTERNAL" and F2 (TCG MODE) to "PRESET". 1 In function menu page P01: HOME, set F8 (COUNTER) to "TC". 2 Select F10 (TCG SET).
