CONNECTING TO A HIGH DEFINITION TV

Using your camcorder, you can watch High Definition (HD) quality videos, recorded in the "1920x1080" or
"1280x720" resolution, on a wide screen HDTV. The connection methods and the quality of the image you
see on the TV screen may vary, depending on the type of TV you've connected the camcorder to, and the
connectors you used. To play back the highest quality videos from your camcorder, your TV set needs to
support the "1920x1080" resolution. This HD camcorder supports both HDMI and component output for
high-definition video playback.
PRECHECK!
• Use the HDMI jack or the component jacks on your TV to connect the camcorder. For more information
about the connectors and the connection methods, refer to your TV user manual.
• This HD camcorder comes with a two-in-one component/AV cable that functions as a component and
AV cable. If you use the component/AV cable, you must set the camcorder's TV output correctly on the
"Analog TV Out" menu.
Understanding the HDMI cable:
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a compact audio/video interface for transmitting
uncompressed digital data.
