Playing the picture on a TV

Connection methods and image quality differ depending on what type of TV is connected and connectors used.

Use the supplied AC Adaptor as the power source (p. 14).

Refer also to the instruction manuals supplied with the device to be connected.

bNotes

•Make all menu settings on your camcorder before connecting. The TV may not recognize the video signal properly if the [VCR HDV/DV] or [i.LINK CONV] setting is changed after the TV and your camcorder were connected with an i.LINK cable.

•Pictures recorded in the DV format are played back as SD (standard definition) images regardless of the connection.

•When recording, set [X.V.COLOR] to [ON] to play back on an x.v.Color-compliant TV (p. 49). Some settings may need to be adjusted on the TV when playing back.
