.

• If you are connecting the camcorder to a TV, set the TV/VIDEO selector on the

television to VIDEO. 

• If you are connecting the camcorder to a VCR, set the input selector on the

VCR to LINE.

Notes:

• If you are going to use the TV as a monitor while you are shooting, remember

to keep the TV volume turned down as long as the camcorder’s audio terminals
are connected. If the sound from the TV speakers is picked up by the
microphone, an unpleasant high-pitched squeal, called feedback, may be
produced.

• For TVs having the Video ID-1 system:

If you connect the camera to the TV’s S terminal or video in terminal,
recordings made in the 16:9 mode for wide screen TVs will automatically play
back in wide screen mode on the TV screen.
