While a tape is being played back, this screen displays
the audio mode recorded on the tape. When recording
a picture, this screen displays the audio mode selected
in AUDIO MODE on the AUDIO SET menu. When
inputting signals from the DV IN/OUT connector, this
screen displays the input audio mode. If the audio
mode has been set to 32 kHz, this screen displays four
channels; if the audio mode has been set to 48 kHz,
this screen displays two channels.

This screen displays the audio levels. By adjusting the
audio recording level control knobs in the front panel,
you can adjust the recording level. In the EE,
recording, or audio dubbing (only the audio dubbing
channel) modes, the level display runs all the way to
the right (0 dB) and turns red if the input level exceeds
0 dB. During playback, when inputting signals from
the DV IN/OUT connector, or if you have set the
AUDIO SELECT switch to AUTO, the level display
does not run all the way to the right (0 dB).

When the normal screen is being displayed, pressing
the FINE button displays the FINE screen. The FINE
screen is displayed only while you are pressing the
FINE button. The FINE screen displays narrower
audio levels around the audio levels (–12/–18/–20 dB)
selected in the REF LEVEL on the AUDIO SET menu
and displays the audio input signal settings. You can
finely adjust recording levels by adjusting the audio
recording level control knobs on the front panel.
The audio input signals are displayed as follows:
GAIN: Displays the AUTO/MANU setting of the
AUDIO SELECT switch.
48V: If the audio input level control selector has been
set to –60 and the audio input selector has been set
to +48V ON, this column shows ON, otherwise
this column shows OFF.
LVL: Displays the setting (–60/–20/+4) of the audio
input level control selector.
Notes
• Changing the REF LEVEL on the AUDIO SET menu
does not change the audio gain of the unit. Adjust the
audio gain by setting the audio input level control
selectors and adjusting the audio recording level
control knobs.
• The standard output level of the AUDIO OUTPUT
jack of the unit is –10 dBu. This is equivalent to –20
dB level for the full-bit maximum audio level
(–18 dB level for DSR-50P). This value is fixed and
is not affected by the REF LEVEL setting on the
AUDIO SET menu.
• When inputting signals from the DV IN/OUT
connector, the INPUT field shows DV IN.
• When inputting signals from other than DV IN/OUT
connector, the INPUT shows the available audio
channels.
