external microphones”.
When performing the operation of step 5 in “(5) Testing external
microphones”, if the audio level meters in the display panel and
audio level indicators in the viewfinder reflect the changing sound
level, the function of the XLR connection automatic detection works
correctly.
If it does not reflect the changing sound level, the function of the
XLR connection automatic detection is set to OFF. Set REAR XLR
AUTO to ON on the VTR MODE 1 page of the MAINTENANCE

the XLR connection automatic detection function does not work
correctly.
