Connecting the IEEE1394 Cable
To reduce the emission of unwanted radio waves, be sure to attach the provided clamp filter as shown in the figure on the left.
•Attach the clamp filter as close to the camcorder as possi- ble, as shown in the figure.
•Set the IEEE1394 switch on the left panel of the cam- corder.

Displaying Alarms
• CHANGE 1394 SWITCH
Displayed when the setting for the input/output video format from the IEEE1394 connector and the setting for the IEEE1394 switch are different.
Set the IEEE1394 switch so it matches the video format.
When connecting the IEEE1394 cable from/to Camcorder, VCR and other IEEE1394 device, make sure the following instructions, otherwise the IEEE1394 circuit device may be destroyed.
•Turn the power of both devices OFF and connect the IEEE1394 cable.
•Do not insert incorrectly (in reverse) the IEEE1394 cable end to IEEE1394 port of both devices.
•Do not connect the IEEE1394 cable under the condition of static electricity.
•Turn the power of both devices OFF when changing the IEEE1394 switch from/to HDV/DV.
Composite and Component Connections
The video signals output from the video signal output connec- tors on this camcorder (VIDEO/Y, PB, PR) are as described below, depending on the settings for the OUTPUT TERMI- NAL item on the VIDEO FORMAT menu screen.
AUTO | : Automatically switches to a composite or | ||||
|
| component signal, depending on which | |||
|
| cable is connected to the video signal | |||
|
| output terminal and outputs the signal. | |||
COMPOSITE | : Outputs a composite signal regardless of | ||||
|
| which cable is connected to the video sig- | |||
|
| nal output connector. |
| ||
COMPONENT | : Outputs a component signal regardless | ||||
|
| of which cable is connected to the video | |||
|
| signal output connector. |

CAUTION
•Be careful not to apply excess force to the video signal output terminal when connecting or disconnecting the cable. This will cause poor contact or failure.
