PD-6DVD Location Recorder (Chapter 5: Recording/playback)

Monitoring recording signals

You can monitor recording signals via headphones (or the internal monitor speaker). While a plug is inserted to the [PHONES] jack, the internal speaker automatically turns off, and you can monitor the signals only via headphones.

The monitor level can be adjusted by the [MONITOR] control. This control is a push-lock type. By pushing the head of the control, the control comes out and you can rotate the control to adjust the level. Pressing the control again puts it inside the panel. To turn off the monitor sound completely, rotate the control fully counterclockwise until it clicks.

<Note>

While running the PD-6 with the internal battery, we recommend not to raise the monitor volume more than required. Raising the volume consumes more battery power.

The monitor signal can be selected by the following switch settings.
