USING EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
Connecting the Video Signal Cables
Connecting the IEEE1394 Cable
To reduce the emission of unwanted radio waves, be sure to
attach the provided clamp filter as shown in the figure on the
left.
• Attach the clamp filter as close to the camcorder as possi-
ble, as shown in the figure.
• Set the IEEE1394 switch on the left panel of the cam-
corder.
CAUTION
Connect the cables and set the switches with the power on
the device OFF.
Composite and Component Connections
The video signals output from the video signal output connec-
tors on this camcorder (VIDEO/Y, P
B
, P
R
) are as described
below, depending on the settings for the OUTPUT TERMI-
NAL item on the VIDEO FORMAT menu screen.
Output signal when AUTO is set
In addition, you can use the PB TAPE item to set whether to
automatically detect the video format of the playback tape or
only play back a particular format when playing back a tape.

See page 63.
CAUTION
Be careful not to apply excess force to the video signal out-
put terminal when connecting or disconnecting the cable.
This will cause poor contact or failure.
Displaying Alarms
• CHANGE 1394 SWITCH
Displayed when the setting for the input/output video format
from the IEEE1394 connector and the setting for the
IEEE1394 switch are different.
Set the IEEE1394 switch so it matches the video format.
