NOTES:

●It is recommended to use the AC Power Adapter/

Charger as the power supply instead of the battery pack ( pg. 7).

●When connecting the cables, make sure to connect the ends with a core filter to the camcorder. The core filter reduces interference.

●To monitor the picture and sound from the

camcorder without inserting a tape, set the camcorder’s Power Switch to “” or “ ”, then set your TV to the appropriate input mode.

●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.
