CONNECTING TO A REGULAR TV
You can view images recorded with your camcorder on a regular
TV that supports standard definition. This camcorder supports the

output

Turn on the camcorder, and then connect an Audio/
Video cable. If you do not turn on the camcorder first, the
camcorder may fail to recognize the connected TV.

When you connect the camcorder to a TV, the LCD screen of the
camcorder turns off automatically.
Make sure you’ve connected the camcorder to the correct input
jacks. The TV screen may not display the right image information if
connected incorrectly.
Do not use excessive force when connecting the cables.
We recommend you use the power adaptor as the power source.
When connecting to a TV using the Audio/Video cable, match the
color of the cables to the color of the corresponding jacks.
Video input may appear green depending on the TV. If this occurs,
connect the yellow plug of the Audio/Video cable to the green jack of
the TV.
If your TV has one audio jack (mono input), connect the yellow plug
of the Audio/Video cable to the video jack, the white plug to the
audio jack, and leave the red plug unconnected.
When you connect the camcorder to a TV using the Audio/Video
cable, images recorded in high definition image quality (1280x720/
30p) play back in standard definition image quality.
When the camcorder is connected to a TV with more than one kind
of cable, the camcorder outputs video signals in the following order
of priority: HDMI
