AUDIO DUBBING
The audio dubbing feature lets you record new audio (sound) on a previously recorded tape
without erasing the original video (picture).
When you audio dub a tape, the previous audio is erased and replaced with new sound.
NOTES:
• Sound from the built-in microphone and the AUDIO jack can be dubbed.
• When dubbing audio from the built-in microphone, set "" OUT/IN" to "OUT" and do not
connect the "AUDIO" jack. When dubbing audio from the "AUDIO" jack, set "" OUT/IN" to "IN".

Be sure that the record safety tab is not missing.

NOTE: If "DUBBING AUDIO/VIDEO" and "PLAY" are pressed twice, audio and video dubbing
will start. In this case, press "STOP/EJECT" to release the dubbing mode.
