•When connecting a microphone or device that does not support phantom power, make sure to set the XLR terminal switch to MIC or

LINE, respectively. If you set the switch to MIC+48V, the microphone or device may be damaged.

Adjusting the Audio Level

You can set the audio level to auto or manual for each channel. When both CH1 and CH2 are set to the built-in microphone (077), the settings for CH1 will automatically be applied to CH2.

Automatic Audio Level Adjustment

Set the audio level switch of the desired channel to A (automatic) to let the camcorder automatically adjust that channel’s audio level. If CH1 and CH2 are set to the built-in microphone and you set CH1 to automatic audio level adjustment, then the camcorder will also automatically adjust the audio level for CH2.

NOTES

•When both CH1 and CH2 are set to the same audio input (external microphone or external line input), if the audio level is set to automatic,

you can use the [mAudio Setup] [Audio Input] [XLR ALC Link] setting (0148) to link the audio level adjustment of both channels.
