ªListening to Playback Sound Through

Headphones (l28)

If you want to listen to the playback sound of a tape through headphones, set [AV JACK] on the [AV IN/OUT SETUP] Sub-Menu to [OUT/PHONES] and connect the headphones to the [PHONES] Jack on this Palmcorder. In this case, no sound (including warning sounds and shutter sounds) will be reproduced through the built-in speaker of the Palmcorder. When the A/V Cable is inserted into the AV Jack, the internal speaker works.

ªSelecting the Sound during Playback

(l28, 33)

You can select the sound by using the [AUDIO OUT] on the [PLAYBACK FUNCTIONS] Sub-Menu.

≥If you set the tape counter back to 0 at the position where you want to stop Audio Dubbing so as to make it possible to use the Memory Stop function (l68), Audio Dubbing is terminated automatically when the tape reaches this position.

≥In the case of importing data recorded with Audio Dubbing to a Computer using the Computer’s software program, only the original sound (ST1) may be imported, depending on the software program.
