Connecting to a 16:9 (wide) or 4:3 TV

To set the aspect ratio according to the connected TV (16:9/4:3)

Change [TV TYPE] setting to match your TV (p. 67).

bNote

When you play back a tape recorded in the DV format on a 4:3 TV not compatible with the 16:9 signal, set [DV WIDE REC] to [OFF] on your camcorder when recording a picture (p. 67).

zTip

When your TV is monaural (When your TV has only one audio input jack), connect the yellow plug of the A/V connecting cable to the video input jack and connect the white (left channel) or the red (right channel) plug to the audio input jack of your TV or VCR. When you want to play the sound in monaural mode, use a connecting cable for that purpose.
