Connect your camcorder and your TV or VCR using either cables described below.

To connect the TV using the component video cable

This connection is recommended when your TV has COMPONENT VIDEO jacks.

To view the picture recorded in the HDV

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.

To connect the TV using the A/V connecting cable

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.
