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.

*GR-D93/73 only

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.
