NOTES

To correctly play back movies recorded with x.v.Color (A176) on an HDTV compatible with this standard, additional settings may be required on the connected HDTV. Refer to the TV’s instruction manual.

You can also play video directly from your memory card on AVCHD- compatible HDTVs and digital recorders with a card slot compatible with the type of memory used*.

We recommend powering the camcorder using the compact power adapter.

Connection ": When you play back your 16:9 movies on standard TV sets with a 4:3 aspect ratio, the TV set will switch automatically to wide- screen mode if it is compatible with the Video ID-1 system. Otherwise, change the aspect ratio of the TV manually.

*Refer to the instruction manual of the device. Depending on the device used, cor- rect playback may not be possible even if the device is AVCHD-compatible. In such case, play back the recordings on the memory card using the camcorder.
