• When you set [TV TYPE] to [4:3], the image

quality may deteriorate. Also, when the recorded
image’s aspect ratio switches between 16:9
(wide) and 4:3, the image may jitter.

• On some 4:3 TVs, the still images recorded in 4:3

aspect ratio may not be displayed full screen. This
is not a malfunction.

• When you play back an image recorded in 16:9

(wide) aspect ratio on a 4:3 TV not compatible
with the 16:9 (wide) signal, set [TV TYPE] to
[4:3].

When your TV is monaural (When your
TV has only one audio input jack)

Connect the yellow plug of the A/V
connecting cable to the video input jack and
connect the white (left channel) or the red
(right channel) plug to the audio input jack
of your TV or VCR.
