Digital Sound

The typical VHS and VHS-C "linear" audio tracks sound about as good as AM radio. In comparison, Digital 8 recording offers the same 16-bit PCM stereo6 sound quality as Compact Disc! So you'll enjoy the entire dynamic range -- from your baby's softest sighs to the full blare of your son's marching band. And you'll hear wide frequency response -- from the thunder of Niagara Falls to the highest squeaks of your daughter's first violin recital.

Sound quality comparison

"Linear" VHS audio tracks only sound about as good as AM radio. Digital 8 camcorders give you digital stereo⁶ sound for clarity that's comparable to Compact Disc!
