Have you selected “Video Input” on the TV? Please read the operating instructions of your TV and select the channel that matches the input jacks used for the connection.

Depending on your TV, nothing may be shown even if you correctly connect the Camcorder with your TV. In this case, set [AV JACK] on the [INITIAL] Sub-Menu to [OUT].

Playback picture is not clear.

Are the heads of the Camcorder dirty? If the heads are dirty, playback image cannot be clear. (p. 67)
