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.
