Make sure you’ve connected the camcorder to the correct input jacks. The TV screen may not display the right video information if connected incorrectly.

When connecting to a TV using the Audio/Video cable, match the colour of the cables to the colour of the corresponding jacks.

Video input may appear green depending on the TV. If this occurs, connect the yellow plug of the Audio/Video cable to the green jack of the TV.

When the camcorder is connected to a TV with more than one kind of cable, the camcorder outputs video signals in the following order of priority:

- HDMI Audio/Video (composite) output

This camcorder is provided with the TV Connect Guide menu function. If you try to connect the camcorder to a TV and don’t have your user’s manual, you can use the TV Connect Guide menu function to view connection instructions on the camcorder’s screen. page 104

If your TV has one audio jack (mono input), connect the yellow plug of the Audio/Video cable to the video jack, the white plug to the audio jack, and leave the red plug unconnected.

When you connect the camcorder to a TV using the Audio/Video cable, images recorded in high-definition image quality (Full HD 1080/50i or HD 720/50p) are played back in standard definition image quality.
