ªSet the AUDIO IN CH1 switch to the FRONT position

When an external microphone is not connected to the external microphone input connector, the built-in microphone records audio for the built-in microphone left channel (L-ch). When the external microphone is connected to the external microphone input connector, the external microphone records audio for the external microphone left channel (L-ch).

ªSet the AUDIO IN CH2 switch to the FRONT position

When the external microphone is not connected to the external microphone input connector, the built-in microphone records audio for the built-in microphone right channel (R-ch). When the external microphone is connected to the external microphone input connector, the external microphone records audio for the external microphone right channel (R-ch).
