SETTING AND ADJUSTMENTS BEFORE SHOOTING
CAUTION
• When the AUDIO INPUT switch is set to MIC, be sure to
check that the microphone is connected to the INPUT1/2
connector. If the microphone is not connected, increasing
the audio level could cause noise from the input connec-
tor to be recorded on the tape. When the microphone is
not connected to the INPUT1/2 connector, set the AUDIO
INPUT switch to “LINE” or turn down the audio level con-
trol.
• In the FULL AUTO mode, the audio level volume cannot
be adjusted with the audio level controls on the CH-1 and
CH-2.
MEMO
The reference level for audio recorded on the tape can be
set with the AUDIO REF. LEVEL item on the AUDIO/MIC
menu screen. (–20 dB or –12 dB) The level will change for
both CH-1 and CH-2.
Monitoring Audio during Recording
The audio input during recording, in record-pause or stop
mode can be monitored through the monitoring speaker or
earphone.

TOR SELECT switch.
• The MONITOR volume control adjusts the monitoring vol-
ume.

case of an abnormal condition occurring in the unit.
An alarm tone is also output when the tape end is reached
or when the battery is running down.

sively; otherwise howling with the camera microphone
may occur.
