16:9WIDE

You can record a 16:9 wide picture on the tape to watch on a 16:9 wide-screen TV ([16:9WIDE] mode).

With this function [ON], your camcorder offers even wider angles when you move the power zoom lever to the “W” side than recording in [OFF].

When you connect your camcorder to the S video input jack of a TV compatible with the ID-1/ID-2 system and play the tape, the TV switches to full mode automatically.

Refer also to the instruction manuals supplied with your TV.
