Viewing videos recorded with HD (high definition) image quality on a TV

To view the images with the same HD (high definition) image quality as that of the recorded images on a TV, you need an NTSC-based, 1080/60i compatible TV (or monitor) with an HDMI or component/AV cable connected.

Viewing videos recorded with SD (standard definition) image quality on a TV

To view images recorded in SD (standard definition) image resolution, you need an NTSC based TV with audio/video or component input jacks and a component/AV cable connected.

On TV color systems

Your camcorder is an NTSC-system-based camcorder. If you want to view your recordings on a TV or to copy them to an external device, you must have an NTSC-based TV

The format transcoder is not provided by Samsung.
