1)The format of the picture output from the HDMI OUT jack and COMPONENT OUT jacks can be set in [HDMI/CMPNT] of [VIDEO OUT] in the [IN/OUT REC] menu (page 71). For details, see the settings for down conversion (page 34).

2)The signals are down converted and output.

The format of the picture output from the VIDEO OUT jack and the S VIDEO OUT jack can be selected from [SQUEEZE], [LETTER BOX] and [EDGE CROP] in [DOWN CONVERT] of [VIDEO OUT] in the [IN/OUT REC] menu (page 71).

3)When DVCAM/DV signals which are input from the HDV/DV jack, or video signals which are from the VIDEO IN jacks or S VIDEO IN jacks, are output to each analog output jack, the distortion of the video signals occurs at the bottom of the TV monitor display due to the jitter. Depending on the display area of the TV monitor you have, the distortion of the picture may appear at the bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction.

Pictures may be distorted or not be displayed depending on the TV monitors. This will not appear while recording with the unit. Be aware of these phenomena when you connect other recording device via the analog jacks of the unit.

4)Depending on the TV monitor being connected, the screen may blink or be distorted when DVCAM/DV signals which are input from the HDV/DV jack, or video signals which are from the VIDEO IN jacks or S VIDEO IN jacks, are output to the VIDEO OUT jacks.

Be aware of these phenomena when you connect other recording device to these jacks. This will not appear while recording with the unit.

Notes

HDV 720/30p/25p/24p signals can be played back, but cannot be input/output via the HDV/DV jack on the unit.

HDV 720/60p, HDV720/50p and SD 480p/576p signals cannot be input/output, recorded, or played back on the unit.
