I do not know. The product was damaged and it appeared to have been used. When I took it out of the damaged box, it begin to come apart as though it was not put together properly. I put it back in the box and is currently waiting for my refund plus the extra I had to pay to ship it back.

No, only 2 AUX audio inputs and 1 headphones mini output jack. Theoretically speaking though, having a portable device with a microphone jack and headphone jack should work with AUX jack of the 501? Good luck!

There is no external audio input. I just use a separate audio recording system and sync it back into the video during post production. Unfortunate, but at this price? It's worth it.

No, it does not have any audio input. I can recommend Kodak zi8 and zi10 for digital video cameras with external Mic jacks.

The HDR AS30V does have an external mic input, however I have never used it so I can't rate it.

Unfortunately on the equipment itself, no but you do have the capability of using the mute function if you were to connect a mic to it that has that option.

Allegedly there is, but I could not get the camera to function at all (I returned it) so I can't verify if the audio works.

I did not use the mic input, sorry. Only headphone jack. And it stopped working after less than a week. Sound now goes in and out. And sometimes doesn't work at all. Have to unplug and plug in my headphones several times to get it to work. Suffering it out til the new one I ordered comes in.

I don't now if you can get pre made adapters for it.i don't remember if it is strictly microphone type input or if it has 1/4 in inputs.. if it has 1/4 in inputs you can more than likely get adapters for it... good luck

Only via mini plug. No XLR input for microphone or a mixer. That would have cost a lot more (but also have been very useful!).

According to the instructions, it has that capability, the mic is on the unit. I have not used that feature.

No... It only has XLR(Microphone cable) or 1/4 jack connectors. I run into a sound card that has those kinds of inputs..

I think it does have volume control for the Mic, and has places for input, but I am not sure what type. I gave it as a gift.

Yes, It has an audio microphone plug so you can connect it to any audio equipment or a Paging amplifier with a mic input, if the input is not the right size, you can buy an inexpensive adapter at Radio Shack or Walmart, around $3 bucks, It also has volume knobs so you can tailor the outputs exactly to what you equipment needs.Hope this helps.

There is a dedicated microphone mute button and there is always the option of just not plugging the mic in and using a different microphone. So short answer yes

Yes. You can use a direct audio input line or blue tooth.Either one sounds great. A must buy. This thing is Awsome.

No, unless I missed something. I suppose you could record something on a disc and then load it from your computer, but there is no microphone that I know of.

Yes I'm pretty sure it has a microphone. I don't know how good it works I've never tried it. You could always hook a better Mic into the microphone jack
