Note on TV Color Systems
TV color systems differ from country to country. To view your recordings on a TV, you need an NTSC
system-based TV. When you want to use a PAL-M system-based TV, you will need an NTSC/PAL-M
transcoder (as this is an NTSC system based camcorder). Please check the list on page 42 to find out the
TV color system used in your country.
