I would like to add another question: how about sound recording? Is there
any LVR wich enables sound recording separatly from image recording so that
one could build the sound track after the images were recorded? I only
have the LVR 5000/6000 specs and I couldn't find an answer. I can only guess
that if you use only one laser beam it will record sound and image at the
same time, so the answer to my question would be no. But is there any one
who is sure about this subject?
