Connecting to a TV

The connection method differs depending on the type of video input terminal that your TV is equipped with. Connection methods in order of best image quality are as follows:

HDMI terminal – Component Terminal – S-Video terminal

– Video terminal

Notes

•Before connecting, always turn down the volume of your TV set, to prevent feedback noise (howling) from your TV speakers.

•Insert the connector cables straight into the terminals. Inserting them at an angle may cause the terminals to break.

Connecting the camcorder to your TV’s HDMI terminal

The HDMI connection provides the highest quality digital image and sound signals to your TV through a single cable, without degradation.
