Built-in speaker

The camcorder has a built-in speaker so you can review the sound track alongside the picture during tape playback. The built-in speaker is monaural.

Adjust the speaker volume by turning the selector dial.

Turn the selector 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 selector dial down until OFF appears.

Notes:

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

The speaker turns off when the camcorder is set to any mode other than PLAY (VCR) mode.

Using the headphones

You can also use the headphones to monitor the sound track. Change the setting of the AV/headphones terminal through the menu ( 30).

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

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

The speaker turns off when you use headphones.
