The camcorder has a built-in speaker so you can review the sound track
alongside the picture when you’re using the LCD screen to play back. The
built-in speaker is monaural. If you are using the viewfinder to play back, use
headphones to monitor the sound.

Using the Headphones
You can also use the headphones to monitor the sound track. Change the
setting of the AV/headphones terminal through the menu (

• You can adjust the headphone volume separately from the built-in speaker.
• The levels you adjust for the built-in speaker and headphones are
memorized separately. The camcorder retains your levels even if you turn
the camcorder off and back on again.
• The speaker turns off when you use headphones.
