RCA CC-285 Camcorder User Manual


 
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 the new audio.
The audio dubbing feature also
increases your editing flexibility.
Video segments can first be
assembled, and then a single narration
or music background can be added to
the tape.
The new audio you want to put on
the tape can be added one of three
different ways:
from speaking into the camcorder's
built-in microphone.
from speaking into an external
microphone connected to the MIC
jack. (The built-in microphone is
inoperable when an external
microphone is attached.)
from an external sound system
connected to the AV IN jack on the
camcorder by using the Audio/
Video Input Cable as shown below.
(Be sure to disconnect external
microphone, if connected, when
recording.)
See pages 44 and 45 for optional
accessories.
