Using Headphones - Canon Vixia HFR40 Instruction Manual

• When the audio level meter reaches the red point (0 dB), the sound may
be distorted.
• We recommend using headphones to check the sound level while
adjusting the audio recording level.

Using Headphones

Use headphones for playback or to check the audio level while record-
ing. The headphones are connected to the AV OUT/× terminal, which
is used for both the headphones and the audio/video output. Before
connecting the headphones, follow the procedure below to change the
function of the terminal from AV output to × (headphones) output. Do
not connect the headphones to the AV OUT/× terminal if the Ó icon
does not appear on the screen. The noise output in such case may be
harmful to your hearing.
Operating modes:
1 Change the function of the terminal to headphones output.
