When [VCR HDV/DV] is set to [AUTO], and the signal switches between HDV and DV formats, the picture and sound are interrupted temporarily.

When the recorder is HDR-FX1000E, set [VCR HDV/DV] to [AUTO] (p. 74).

When the player and the recorder are both HDV1080i compatible devices such as HDR-FX1000E and connected with the i.LINK cable, after pausing or stopping and then resuming the recording, the images will be a bit choppy or rough at that point.

Set [DISP OUTPUT] to [LCD PANEL] (the default setting) when connecting with an A/V connecting cable (p. 74).

When connecting with the A/V connecting cable with S VIDEO (optional)

Connect with S VIDEO jack instead of the video plug (yellow). This connection produces pictures more faithfully. This connection produces higher quality DV format pictures. The audio will not be output when you connect with the S VIDEO cable alone.
