Editing and Archiving

Just connect your HD camcorder to an HDTV and get ready for an incredible high-denition video show. If your TV is HDMI* compatible, a single HDMI mini cable is all you need. When using a video component cable, you need a separate audio cable. If you have a Panasonic VIERA PZ850** series TV, viewing is even easier. Just slip the SD or SDHC memory card from your camcorder into the card slot on your TV, and you're ready to view full-HD moving images recorded in the AVCHD format. Connect your HD camcorder to a VIERA or compatible Blu-ray Disc player via an HDMI cable, and you can control both units in synchronized operation with a single remote control. This kind of simple, easy operation makes it even more fun to view your recordings.
*With VIERA Link, a control signal sent through the HDMI cable allows linked operation of a VIERA
TV, compatible DIGA recorder, and the HD camcorder. Please note that this function applies only to
equipment that is compatible with VIERA Link, and that VIERA Link does not let you control every
function of all connected equipment.
