The top, bottom, right, and left edges

of images are trimmed slightly on a

connected TV.

The LCD screen of your camcorder can

display recording images across the entire

screen (full pixel display). However, this may

cause slight trimming of the top, bottom, right,

and left edges of images when played back on

a TV which is not compatible with full pixel

display.

It is recommended you record images using

the outer frame of [GUIDEFRAME](p. 78) as

a guide.

The image appears distorted on the 4:3

TV.

This happens when viewing an image

recorded in the 16:9 (wide) mode on a 4:3 TV.

Set [TV TYPE] correctly (p. 93) and play back

the image.

Black bands appear at the top and bottom

of the screen of the 4:3 TV.

This happens when viewing an image recorded

in the 16:9 (wide) mode on a 4:3 TV. This is

not a malfunction.

Dubbing/Connecting to other
devices

Images are not dubbed correctly.

You cannot dub images using the HDMI cable.

The A/V connecting cable is not connected

properly. Make sure to connect the cable to the

input jack of another device (p. 67).

GPS

The camcorder is not receiving a GPS

signal (HDR-XR500VE/XR520VE).

Your camcorder may not be able to receive

radio signals from GPS satellites because of

obstructions. Bring your camcorder to an

open area, and set the GPS switch to ON

again.

The current location on the map of the

camcorder is different from the actual

current location (HDR-XR500VE/XR520VE).

The margin of error of the radio signal from

GPS satellites is large. The margin of error can

be as wide as several-hundred meters at the

maximum.
