Wonderful - and how do I adjust headphone monitor level
on a 90-minute continuous shoot...?! ;-) So, effectively,
we are back at "it appears the DVX has no volume control
on the headphone output, an odd omission...;-)", but
with the additions of "easily-accessible" and "practical
to use while shooting continuous material"... I think
the local owner's solution of hanging an external
headphone amplifier on the side of the camera may be
more practical, if also somewhat awkward...;-)
