•If you are connecting the camcorder to a TV, set the TV/VIDEO selector on the television to VIDEO.

Notes:

•If you are going to use the TV as a monitor while you are shooting, remember to keep the TV volume turned down as long as the camcorder’s audio terminals are connected. If the sound from the TV speakers is picked up by the microphone, an unpleasant high-pitched squeal, called feedback, may be produced.

•For TVs having the Video ID-1 system:

If you connect the camera to the TV’s S terminal or video in terminal, recordings made in the 16:9 mode for wide screen TVs will automatically play back in wide screen mode on the TV screen.
