Chapter 1 Overview
• When images are output in 720p format, some of the
text image data (outer frame: underscan portion) on the
monitor may appear cut out. In this case, check the text
image data on the LCD monitor of the unit or on a
monitor using the S VIDEO OUT jack or the VIDEO
OUT jack. Also, when your monitor has an underscan
function, you can check all the text data on the monitor
while in underscan mode.
• The setting of [HDMI/CMPNT] of [VIDEO OUT] in
the [IN/OUT REC] menu is effective for both the
COMPONENT OUT jack and the HDMI OUT jack
(page 71).
• When [HDI/CMPNT] of [VIDEO OUT] in the [IN/
OUT REC] menu is set to either [1080i/480i] or
[1080i/576i], 1080/24p and 1080/30p video signals are
converted to 1080/60i, 1080/25p video signals are to
1080/50i, and then output.
• When you change the video format setting of [HDMI/
CMPNT] of [VIDEO OUT] in the [IN/OUT REC]
menu, the video signal output from the S VIDEO OUT
jack, VIDEO OUT jack, or HDV/DV jack may be
distorted for a moment.
• If a monitor or other device connected to the unit does
not have a display mode to display the resolution
selected with [HDMI/CMPNT] of [VIDEO OUT] in
[IN/OUT REC], noise may occur on the picture of the
monitor, or a humming noise may be output from the
speakers. Also, the picture may not be displayed or the
sound may not be output. Be sure to check the
displayable resolutions of the monitor by referring the
operational instructions of your monitor, and select the
appropriate menu for the unit.
• Depending on the monitor you have, the picture and
sound on the monitor may be distorted when you
change the resolution of the picture. This is not a
malfunction.
Some monitors have a specification that does not allow
them to display personal contents (such as a movie
recorded for private use) played on the unit. To play
the video properly, use the COMPONENT OUT jacks
or the VIDEO OUT jacks to connect the monitor and
the unit.
