Built-in speaker

The camcorder has a built-in speaker so you can review the sound track alongside the picture when you’re using the LCD screen to play back a tape. The built-in speaker is monaural.

Mastering the Basics

PLAY POWER OFF

PMOVIE . SCAN

Adjust the speaker volume by turning the SELECT dial.

•Turn the SELECT dial up to increase the volume, and down to lower the volume.

•A bar appears in the display to indicate the current volume. It disappears in 4 seconds.

•You can turn off the volume completely by turning the SELECT dial down until OFF appears. You can monitor the sound again by turning the SELECT dial up.

•You can adjust the headphone volume separately from the built-in speaker, either during PLAY (MV4i and MV4i MC: VCR) mode or camera mode. The volume level is the same regardless of mode.

(Use the DU-300 Docking Unit to connect the headphones, p. 65.)

•The levels you adjust for the built-in speaker and headphones are memorized separately. The camera remembers your levels even if you turn the camera off and back on again.

•The speaker turns off when the camera is set to any mode other than PLAY (MV4i and MV4i MC: VCR) or when you use headphones.

•Sometimes audio may sound distorted when the volume is turned up high. If this happens, turn down the volume.
