5-1-5 Recording Analog Audio
Recording with emphasis
You can emphasize analog audio signals that are
recorded from the AUDIO INPUT connectors. When
the emphasis is removed during playback, high
frequency noise is effectively eliminated without
affecting the original signal.
To use the emphasis function, set item 806.AUDIO
EMPHASIS in the VTR SETUP menu to on.
During playback, regardless of this setting, only
signals to which emphasis have been applied are
automatically de-emphasized.
