Recording Audio Selecting the Audio Input Source for Audio Channels You can select the audio input source that will be recorded on CH1/CH2 or CH3/CH4, independently for each pair of audio channels. For details refer to the Audio Settings and Recorded Audio Channels table (A 97). Operating modes: 101 1 Select the desired pair of audio channels. > [¡ ! Audio Setup] > [Select CH1/CH2 Input] or [Select CH3/CH4 Input] 2 Select [INPUT Terminals] (external microphone or audio device), [MIC Terminal] (external microphone) or [Built-in Mic] (built-in microphone) and then press SET. • If necessary, repeat steps 1 and 2 to select the audio input source for the other pair of audio channels. Recording a Single Analog Audio Input to Two Audio Channels By default, when using analog audio sources (line in or microphone) connected to the INPUT terminals, each audio input is recorded to a separate audio channel (INPUT 1 to CH1 and INPUT 2 to CH2). If necessary (for example, as an audio backup recording), you can record the same analog audio source connected to the INPUT 1 terminal to both audio channels, CH1 and CH2. In that case, you can adjust the audio recording levels of each channel independently of each other. 1 Select [CH2 Input]. > [¡ ! Audio Setup] > [CH2 Input] 2 Select the desired option and then press SET. Options [INPUT 2]: [INPUT 1]: Records audio to each channel separately. Audio input into INPUT 1 is recorded to CH1, while audio input into INPUT 2 is recorded to CH2. Audio input into INPUT 1 is recorded to both channels. Audio input into INPUT 2 will not be recorded. Adjusting the Audio Recording Level You can adjust the audio recording level of analog audio sources from the INPUT terminals, external microphones connected to the MIC terminal and the built-in microphone. For the INPUT terminals (analog sources) and MIC terminal, you can set the audio recording level to automatic or manual adjustment independently for each channel or for CH1/CH2 and CH3/CH4 as a set*. The audio recording level of digital audio sources (AES/EBU) from the INPUT terminals cannot be adjusted. The audio recording level of the built-in microphone can only be adjusted for a pair of channels (CH1/CH2 or CH3/CH4) as a set. You can set > [¡ % Audio Setup] > [Assign CH2 Switch & Dial] to [CH3] to be able to adjust the audio levels for channel CH3 using the CH2 audio level switch and dial. * Requires linking the audio level adjustment (ALC) of CH1/CH2 or CH3/CH4 (A 103).
