Operating in Conjunction with TV via HDMI

Connecting the camcorder to an HDMI-CEC- enabled TV using the HDMI cable allows you to utilize the following convenient functions.

•HDMI-CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) is an industry standard that enables interoperability between HDMI-CEC compliant devices that are connected via HDMI cables.

NOTE

•Not all HDMI-control devices comply with the HDMI-CEC standard. The HDMI control function of the camcorder will not work when connected to these devices.

•The camcorder is not guaranteed to operate with all HDMI-CEC-enabled devices.

•Some TVs can operate the HDMI-CEC functions of the camcorder using the TV’s remote control.

•Depending on the specifications of each HDMI-CEC-enabled device, some functions may not work with the camcorder. (For details, refer to the instruction manual of your TV.)

•Unintended operations may occur with some connected devices. In these cases, set [HDMI CONTROL] to [OFF]. (Z p. 84)

Preparation:

•Connect an HDMI cable between the camcorder and the TV. (Z p. 24)

•Turn on the TV and set the HDMI-CEC related setting to on. (For details, refer to the instruction manual of the TV.)

•Turn on the camcorder and set [HDMI CONTROL] to [ON]. (Z p. 84)

Operation method 3

• Depending on the TV connected, the display language of the camcorder will automatically switch to the language that is used for the TV when the camcorder is turned on.

(This is applicable only if the camcorder supports the language selected for the TV.) To use the camcorder with a language that differs from the display language of the TV, set [HDMI CONTROL] to [OFF]. (Z p. 84)

NOTE

•The display language of the TV will not switch automatically, even if the display language of the camcorder is changed.

•These functions may not work correctly when devices such as amplifier and selector are connected. Set [HDMI CONTROL] to [OFF].

•If HDMI-CEC does not work properly, turn off and on the camcorder again.
