•Connection #: When you play back your 16:9 movies on standard TV sets with a 4:3 aspect ratio, the TV set will switch automatically to widescreen mode if it is compatible with the Video ID-1 system. Otherwise, change the aspect ratio of the TV manually.

•You can also play video directly from your memory card on AVCHD-compatible HDTVs and digital recorders with a card slot compatible with the type of memory used*.
