About the echo canceller
The echo canceller of the unit is provided for the
prevention of howling. However, repeated echo-
ing of sound other than from a DM-NC40 may not
be suppressed sufficiently.
When using a speaker and a microphone at the
same time, place them apart, change the direc-
tion of the microphone or take caution so that the
playback sound from the speaker is not picked up
by the microphone.
When using a camcorder with audio AGC (Auto
Gain Control), the echo canceller may not work
properly. Please turn off the AGC.
If the AGC feature cannot be turned off, use a sepa-
rate microphone amplifier with no AGC.
■
When not using the unit for a long time, turn the
power of the unit off for conserving energy.
■
About electrical interference
When using the unit near a television, radio re-
ceiver or transceiver, screen images may become
disturbed or noise may be heard. In this case, try
the following:
• Place the unit away from radios and televisions
or change the direction of the unit.
• If an indoor antenna is used, change the direc-
tion or the location of the antenna.
• Use a wall outlet other than the one used for
radios, televisions, etc.
• Install a commercially-available noise filter be-
tween the wall output and power plug.
JVC assumes no responsibility whatsoever of
any effects that may occur as a result of
operating this unit.
