NOTES:

It is recommended to use the AC Adapter as the power supply instead of the battery pack (pg. 9).

To monitor the picture and sound from the camcorder without inserting a tape or memory card*, set the camcorder’s Power Switch to “ AUTO ” or “ MANUAL ”, then set your TV to the appropriate input mode.

*GR-DVL1020/DVL820/DVL520 only

Make sure you adjust the TV sound volume to its minimum level to avoid a sudden burst of sound when the camcorder is turned on.

If you have a TV or speakers that are not specially shielded, do not place the speakers adjacent to the TV as interference will occur in the camcorder playback picture.

While the Audio/Video cable is connected to the AV connector, sound cannot be heard from the speaker.

If no image is displayed or no sound is heard from the

TV, set “S/AV INPUT” to “OFF” in the Menu Screen (GR-DVL1020/DVL820 only, pg. 50).
