NOTES:

It is recommended to use the AC Adapter as the power supply instead of the battery pack. ( pg. 7)

To monitor the picture and sound from the camcorder without inserting a tape or memory card, set the camcorder’s Power Switch to “A” or “M”, then set your TV to the appropriate input mode.

Make sure you adjust the TV sound volume to its minimum level to avoid a sudden burst of sound when the camcorder is turned on.

If you have a TV or speakers that are not specially shielded, do not place the speakers adjacent to the TV as interference will occur in the camcorder playback picture.

When a cable is connected to the AV connector, the sound is not heard from the speaker.
