Using the wide mode

You can record a 16:9 wide picture to watch on the 16:9 wide-screen TV (16:9WIDE). Black bands appear on the screen during recording in the 16:9WIDE mode [a]. The picture during playing back in the 4:3 mode on a wide-screen TV [b]* or a normal TV [c] are compressed in the widthwise direction. If you set the screen mode of the wide- screen TV to the full mode, you can watch pictures of normal images [d].

DCR-TRV33 only – If the zoom lever is set to the W (wide) side, the recording angle will become wider than that of the usual tape recording. The recording angle will not become wider with the zoom lever on the T (telephoto) side.

*The picture played back in the wide mode on a normal TV appears the same as the picture played back in the wide mode on your camcorder [a].
