Headphone Jack [PHONES]
• Connecting an AV Cable to this jack activates
the Camcorder’s built-in speaker, but
connecting a headphone, etc. deactivates it.
• When connecting the pin plug of the AV Cable
to this jack, plug it in as far as it goes.
• When using headphones, set [INITIAL] >> [AV
JACK] >> [OUT/PHONES].

Microphone Jack [MIC]
(For PV-GS14/PV-GS15)
• When connecting an external microphone
or audio equipment to this jack, the built-in
microphone does not operate.
• A compatible plug-in powered microphone can
be used. Please consult your dealer for more
information.
• The microphone may make noises depending
on the type used. In this case, we recommend
using the battery with the Camcorder to reduce
noises instead of the AC Adaptor.
