201 | Sony DSC-TX20/D, DSCTX20 instruction

Use an HDMI Cable with the HDMI logo.

You cannot view images on a TV that does not have an HDMI connector.

Recording may automatically stop to protect the camera after a period of time if you are shooting movies when the camera and TV are connected by an HDMI Cable (sold separately).

Be sure to open the HDMI connector cover wide enough when connecting an HDMI cable to the camera.
