On an HDTV.
You’ll need a High Definition TV to enjoy the full quality of the AVCHD
picture. You can make a pristine, digital connection with the camcorder’s High Definition
Multimedia Interface

(HDMI
™
) terminal and a compatible TV. If necessary, you can also
make an analog HD connection using the component video (Y, Pb, Pr) connections
(three RCA jacks).
On an SDTV.
While you won’t see High Definition, you can still enjoy a superb picture
when connecting an AVCHD camcorder to a Standard Definition TV. Use the composite
video RCA jack.

player or PLAYSTATION

3 console.
The 3-inch (8-cm) DVDs
recorded with AVCHD data cannot be played on conventional DVD players. However,
they can be played on the next generation of home entertainment, Blu-ray Disc player/
recorders and PLAYSTATION

3 consoles.
Editing on a PC.
You can connect an AVCHD camcorder to a personal computer via
USB. (Not all products with USB 2.0 connector may communicate with each other due
to chipset variations.) You can also export AVCHD data to a PC via the 3-inch (8-cm) DVD
disc. You can even return data from the PC to the AVCHD camcorder.
In order to export the data to a PC, edit or import to the AVCHD camcorder, the PC will
need application software supplied with the camcorder or third-party application
software as may become available.
