•The unit is not compatible with a camera that outputs +4 dB. If you set the audio input selectors to CAM, select –60 dB or –20 dB depending on the output level of the camera.

•If you can select the output level (–60 dB or –20 dB) on the camera, select –20 dB on the camera and the unit. When the unit and the camera are connected with a long camera cable, noise may be minimized.
