NOTES

•To correctly play back movies recorded with x.v.Color (0162) on an HDTV compatible with this standard, additional settings may be required on the connected HDTV. Refer to the TV’s instruction manual.

•We recommend powering the camcorder using the compact power adapter.

•Connection C: 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 wide- screen mode if it is compatible with the Video ID-1 system. Otherwise, change the aspect ratio of the TV manually.
