Notes:

It is recommended to use the AC Adapter/ Charger as the power supply instead of the battery pack to achieve uniform playback.

Use the provided A/V Connection Cable, making sure to connect the end with a single plug to the camcorder.

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 next to the TV as interference will occur in the camcorder playback picture.
