Selecting the audio inputs to be recorded
• With the XLR connection automatic detection function

connecting the external audio equipment.
• With the XLR connection detection function being on:
When a cable is connected to the AUDIO IN CH1 or
CH2 connector, the input from that connector is
automatically selected for audio recording, regardless of
the setting of the AUDIO IN CH-1 or CH-2 switch.
The XLR connection automatic detection function can be
switched on or off on the AUDIO-1 page of the
MAINTENANCE menu, with the REAR XLR AUTO
item.
