OC Terry Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Greetings! I am trying to convert Video8 tapes from a Sony Handycam CCD-TRV37 which only has a single audio out channel. The Roxio supplied adapter allows for two channels. Which of the two channels should I use; white or red, or does it matter? Thanks! Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sknis Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Get a "y" connector and use both. It will sound better coming out of both left and right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_Hardin Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I don't remember if it mattered but I think I used red. I thought it was the White one??? Anyway, Steve has the best answer, split it and have it on both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandpabruce Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I thought it was the White one??? Anyway, Steve has the best answer, split it and have it on both! I always thought that it was the white one, too. I don't know why it would matter, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OC Terry Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Took Steve's idea and bought a 1-to-2 "y" splitter. Thanks, everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdanteek Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I did some mono recording using one RCA then a Y splitter with two RCA's. There is no difference in the recording or the sound of the recording except increasing the volume about 3dB. Two of the same exact signals will just make it a bit louder, it won’t change the sound at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, BUT (love that term) it is an easy way to get audio to both the left and right channels if the audio is mono. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmiz Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 . I used the Roxio Easy VHS to DVD3 for converting VHS tapes without any problems but am now trying to convert High 8 video tapes from a handheld Canon E70 video camera to dvd. It to only has one audio out channel similar to the discussion above. I am able to get video to come through but no audio comes through. It doesn't matter if I use the red or the white connection. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you hear audio if you connect the camcorder to a plyback device ot listen to it with the camcorder? I would be that you don't have your Windows setting to record from you camcorder. Right clcik on the speaker icon at the bottom right of your desktop and set to recording device to the sound card. See if that works or if you have the USB device as an option. Since you didn't give us much information, it is impossible to go much beyond what I gave you above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
