To enjoy the 5.1ch surround sound of the
movies recorded with high definition image
quality (HD) in 5.1ch sound, you need an
AVCHD format device compatible with 5.1ch
surround.
When you connect your camcorder with an
HDMI cable (sold separately), the sound of high
definition image quality (HD) movies recorded
in 5.1ch sound is automatically output in 5.1ch
sound. The sound of standard definition image
quality (STD) movies is converted to 2ch.
Tips
You can select the recording sound from [5.1ch
SURROUND] (
) or [2ch STEREO]
(
) ([AUDIO MODE], p. 79).
You can create a disc, which contains the
movies recorded on your camcorder, on a
computer using the supplied software “PMB.” If
you play the disc on a 5.1ch surround system,
you can enjoy realistic sound.
