If your TV (or VCR) has an S (S1) -video input terminal

For higher picture quality, we recommend playing back recordings on a TV with an S (S1) terminal. If you connect the camcorder to a TV with an S1 terminal, recordings made in the 16:9 mode for wide screen TVs will automatically play back in wide screen mode on the TV screen.

Mastering the Basics

When connecting for playback on a TV screen, make sure the AV/headphone terminal is switched to AV. If PHONES appears in the display, switch the terminal.

•Use the S-150 S-video Cable to connect the S-video terminals. Use the STV-250N Stereo Video Cable to connect the AUDIO terminals. Connect the white plug to the white AUDIO terminal L (left). Connect the red plug to the red AUDIO terminal R (right). Do not connect the yellow plug.

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

•If you are connecting the camcorder to a VCR, set the input selector on the VCR to LINE.
