Notes

Regardless of the playback tape or of the format input to the HDV/DV jack, the selectable setting values displayed on this menu vary depending on the setting of [60i/50i SEL].

WSS (Wide Screen Signaling) is not output when the picture is output to the COMPONENT OUT jacks in 480p or 576p. Set the monitor according to the down convert format of the picture that is output from the unit.

When you play back a tape in DVCAM (DV) format while an EE picture in NTSC/PAL is displayed, either the 480i resolution or the 576i resolution is output, regardless of the setting of [HDMI/CMPNT].

When you play back an HDV-formatted tape with copyright protected signals or input an HDV signal with copyright protection to the HDV/DV jack, pictures may be output in either 480i (NTSC) or 576i (PAL) format, regardless of the setting of [VIDEO OUT].
