NOTES
•When the audio level meter reaches the red point (0 dB), the sound may be distorted.
•If the audio level is too high and the sound gets distorted, activate the microphone attenuator with the 78[Microphone Attenuator] set- ting.
•We recommend using headphones to check the sound level while adjusting the audio recording level or when the microphone attenuator is activated.
Using Headphones
Use headphones for playback or to check the audio level while record- ing. The headphones are connected to the AV OUT/Xterminal, which is used for both the headphones and the audio/video output. Before connecting the headphones, follow the procedure below to change the function of the terminal from AV output to X(headphones) output.

*Headphones can be used also in 
mode but the function of the terminal can- not be changed in this mode. Change the setting in advance in one of the other operating modes.
