• Use an HDMI cable with the HDMI logo.
• Use an HDMI mini plug on one end (for the camcorder), and a plug suitable for connection to your TV on
the other end.
• Images are not output from the HDMI OUT jack of your camcorder, if copyright protection signals are
recorded in the images.
• Some TVs may not function correctly (e.g., no sound or image) with this connection.
• Do not connect the HDMI OUT jack of your camcorder and HDMI OUT jack of the external device with
the HDMI cable. This may cause a malfunction.
• When the connected device is compatible with 5.1ch surround sound, movies recorded with the HD (high
