CONNECTING TO A REGULAR TV
You can view images recorded with your camcorder on a regular TV that supports standard
definition. This camcorder supports the composite output for standard definition video transfer.
PRECHECK!

Connecting an Audio/Video cable for the composite output
1.
Connect the camcorder to a TV with an Audio/Video cable.
Turn on the camcorder, and then connect an Audio/Video cable. If you do not turn on
the camcorder first, the camcorder may fail to recognise the connected TV.

Refer to the TV’s instruction manual to see how to select the TV input.
