[For assistance, please call: 1-800-272-7033] 31
 Audio features such as camera microphone sensitivity and mute during pan/tilt 
can be set up on the Audio page (see page 
78).
 If you are running other applications or opening multiple windows, the audio 
may be interrupted or delayed.
 When the image is refreshed during any operation such as preset registration 
or a web browser refresh, the volume is reset to the default (midrange) 
position. Audio that was muted is enabled.
 The audio may be interrupted due to your PCs performance or network 
environment. Reduce the max. bandwidth (see page 
43 and page 48). 
 If the camera is accessed while the PC user visits other websites, the active 
microphone may pick up audio from the PCs speakers. Be careful with it.
 Talk feature cannot be used from a PC when the camera is accessed via a 
proxy server.
 If you cannot listen to the audio or talk from your PC, see page 14 of the 
Troubleshooting on the Setup CD-ROM.
 If you use external microphone, excessive length or poor quality microphone 
cable can cause a degradation in audio quality.
 The cables for the external microphone must be less than 7 m (about 23 feet) 
long.
 To talk to the camera from your PC, an external amplified speaker such as the 
Panasonic RP-SPT70 or equivalent (customer-provided) must be connected 
to the camera. The speaker connects to the camera with a stereo audio cable 
similar to that used by your PC. Though the connector is stereo, the audio is 
not.

 The external microphone input terminal does not correspond to a line level. 
Audio may be distorted when the line level is input. Audio distortion will be 
solved if you insert the following circuits. Under no circumstance should high 
level audio, such as from a speaker, be connected to this input terminal. Doing 
so is likely to damage the camera.
