Q49: When recording using balanced audio (XLR connection) as an input from source, and the output
to a monitor is unbalanced audio (RCA connection), can I hear the audio while recording?

Q51: If I'm recording to the HDD, how do I figure out the bit-rate for a specific amount of time so that my
video will fit on DVD-R or DVD-RW media?
A51: The PRV-LX1 has a built-in bit rate calculator. Calculations are based on the target selected,
(HDD, DVD1, DVD2). To decide what bit rate to use for a project recorded on the HDD and later
transferred to DVD media, first select DVD1 or DVD2 as the target. To determine the bit rate
calculation, select "Recording" from the Function menu. Choose "video/audio" then "encode rate".
Once the bit rate calculation is determined, re-select the HDD as the target for source recordings.
