Audio Mode for XP Recording
Choose the audio type when recording or copying with XP
mode.
[Dolby Digital] (¼ 92)

The picture quality of LPCM recordings may be lower than
that of normal XP mode recordings.
The audio recording becomes Dolby Digital even if you
selected LPCM when using a recording mode other than XP.

You can select the kind of audio when recording from the unit’s
DV IN terminal (¼ 25).

subsequent to original recording.

Incorrect settings can cause noise to be output which can
be harmful to your ears and speakers, and audio will not be
recorded properly on media such as mini discs.
