12-bit/16-bit audio modes
When using the DV standard VCR, the sound is recorded in either 12-
bit or 16-bit mode.
Checking the audio mode
During playback, the indicator corresponding to the audio mode lights
up.
How the audio mode is decided
The audio mode depends on the recording source or connection.
• When recording from the DV jack: the sound is recorded in the same
audio mode as the source tape.
• When recording from the LINE IN connectors: you can select the
audio mode by setting LINE IN AUDIO in the ADVANCED
OPTIONS menu (on page 54).
• When recording TV programs using the tuner of this VCR: the sound
is recorded in 16-bit mode.
Tip
• The DCR-VX1000/VX700/
PC7 digital video camera
recorders record the sound
in 12-bit audio mode
(Stereo 1).
16-bit mode
The 16-bit mode uses the whole audio
area to record one stereo track.
