format, set [COMPONENT] on the (IN/ OUT REC) menu according to your TV
(p. 74). When a picture recorded in the DVCAM (DV) format is played back, an equivalent picture with DVCAM (DV) format is output regardless of [COMPONENT] setting.
•Only video signals are output from the COMPONENT OUTPUT jack. To output audio signals, connect the white and red plugs of the A/V connecting cable to the audio input jack of your TV or VCR.

When there is an S video jack on the device to be connected, connect it with your camcorder by the S video jacks using an S video cable (optional) instead of the yellow video plug of the A/V connecting cable (supplied). Use an S video cable to produce high resolution pictures. The audio will not be output when you connect with the S video cable alone.
