Sony DCR-IP1 - Manual (Page 54)

Using the Menu 54
16:9 WIDE
You can record a 16:9 wide picture on the tape to watch on a 16:9 wide-screen TV
(WIDE mode). This function is useful when you want to record on the tape in
wider angles while the power zoom lever is moved to the W side. When you
connect your camcorder to the S video input jack of a TV compatible with the ID-
1/ID-2 system and play the tape, the TV switches to full mode automatically.
Refer also to the manuals supplied with your TV.
* Picture appears in full screen when the wide-screen TV switches to full mode.
** Played in a 4:3 mode, the picture is extended in the length direction. When you play a
picture in the wide mode on a normal TV, it appears as it is displayed on the LCD screen.
z Tips
• The ID-1 system sends aspect ratio information (16:9, 4:3, or letter box) by inserting
signals between video signals.
• The ID-2 system sends a copyright protection signal with the ID-1 signals inserted between
video signals in an analog connection.
• S1 video sends information with the standard S video signal to select wide mode
automatically.
