Playback (Sound); Other - Panasonic AG-DVC30 Operating Instructions Manual

Before calling for service

Playback (sound)

I can't hear any sound from the camera-
recorder's speaker.
O Have you turned down the camera-recorder's
volume control too far?
In the VCR mode, adjust the volume level
using the multi dial. (P49)
I can hear two sets of sound.
O Have you selected "MIX" as the 32K (12bit)
AUDIO item setting on the PLAYBACK
FUNCTION screen? (P73)
O If you perform audio dubbing on a tape that
was recorded with "32K (12bit)" selected as
the AUDIO REC item setting on the
RECORDING SETUP screen, you will hear
the sound heard during recording and that of
the audio dubbing. (P75)
When I performed audio dubbing on an
existing recording, the original sound was
erased.
O If you perform audio dubbing on a tape that
was recorded with "48K (16bit)" selected as
the AUDIO REC item setting on the
RECORDING SETUP screen, you will erase
the original sound on the tape. To leave the
original sound intact, make sure that "32K
(12bit)" is selected as the item setting when
you shoot the original recording. (P75)

Other

I can't remove the cassette tape.
O Is power still being supplied to the camera-
recorder? (Is the power from the AC adapter
and battery supplied properly?)
So long as the power is supplied, you can
remove the cassette even if the POWER
lever is at the OFF position.
I can remove the cassette but I can't perform
any other operations.
O Has condensation formed?
If it forms, the only operation you can perform
is to remove the cassette. Wait until the
condensation has dried out. (P83)
O If the cassette cover is closed immediately
after sliding the EJECT switch to open the
cassette cover, you may no longer be able to
perform any operations other than eject.
If you did this, slide the EJECT switch again
to open the cassette cover, check that the
cassette mechanism has finished ejecting the
cassette, and then close the cassette cover.
The remote control unit does not work.
O Has the button battery in the remote control
unit run out?
If the remote control fails to work even when
it is operated near the camera-recorder's
remote control sensor, it means that the
button battery has run out. Replace it with a
new one. (P24)
O Is the remote control setting the same for the
remote control unit and the camera-recorder?
If the REMOTE item setting does not
correspond between the two units, the
remote control unit will not work. (P24, P78)
I hear a rattling sound when I tilt the camera-
recorder back and forth.
O There are some parts in the structure of the
camera unit that make a rattling sound in the
VCR mode or when the POWER lever is at
the OFF position. This is not a sign that
something is broken.
