Notes
When you connect your camcorder to a TV compatible with the ID-1/ID-2 system, set [TV TYPE] to
[16:9]. The TV switches to full mode automatically. Refer also to the instruction manuals supplied with
your TV.
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 photos 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].
