A1 and headphone problem
I have used headphones in the past to check sound levels while taping with my A1 with no issues. Yesterday I started to do so, and to my chagrin there was a buzzing sound in one ear phone ( but not the other). When I hook up these headphones to my pc, there is no problem. Is it possible while adjusting the audio settings for my external mic I messed up something? Or do I have a problem with the A1 that will lead to me sending it away for a repair? Any ideas or possible solutions (other than sending it away)?

Is it possible you didn't push the phones plug fully into the A1, that could cause that hum.
And is the audio hum free on both A1 tracks? If it continues try running the A1 on A/C power and see if that clears it. Also try pushing the A1 reset button. Cheers. |

When plugged into my pc, I can listen to music with no hum in either ear. When plugged into my A1, there is a lour buzz in the right ear. AC power makes no difference.
How do I use the reset button? ---------------- Never mind. I figured out the reset button. That did the trick! |

Stephen I've never used the reset, best to follow the manual instructions. Also do you have another set of cans to try? If not take the cam to a sound shop, try everything before sending it away for fixing.
EDIT...great stuff!! Cheers. Last edited by Allan Black; November 23rd, 2008 at 02:43 PM. Reason: it worked!! |

I googled and found how to do the reset button. You make sure the battery is out and there isn't any AC power connected, and then lightly push it. I used the unfolded end of a paper clip. That did it.

Did you have to reset the A1 clock and other settings?
Cheers. |

I noticed just in time and felt very silly but also very relieved it was something so simple. Can you definitely eliminate this possibility? |

Allan - I did have to reset the clock, and I also had turn on the presets. However, I didn't lose the custom presets I had loaded - so everything isn't reset. |

Yeah, it sounds just like the headphones were plugged into the AV socket. I too did that once (that I will admit to) and just slow things down a bit now so as to avoid a repeat of that scenario.
