display.
When AUTO has been selected as the setup menu

O Headphone jack and volume control
When stereo headphones are connected to the
headphone jack, the sound during recording, playback
or editing can be monitored using the headphones.
The volume level of the headphone output and
monitor output can be adjusted using the volume
control.
Whether the volume level of the monitor output is to
be coupled to the volume control or not can be
selected using the setup menu item No. 713 (MONI
OUT). (Note that the volume level of the headphones
is coupled at all times.)
When the volume of the monitor output is not coupled,
it is fixed at a set level and is not affected by the
position of the volume control.
