Connecting to an External Monitor
Using the AV OUT Terminal
The AV OUT terminal outputs a down-converted analog video signal and audio signal for connection to monitors
with a composite audio/video input.
NOTES
• When you play back a clip on a monitor with a 4:3 aspect ratio, the monitor will switch automatically to
widescreen mode if it is compatible with the Video ID-1 or WSS system.
• If necessary, you can superimpose the onscreen displays on the video displayed on the external monitor
(A 120).
SD Output
When HD video (16:9 aspect ratio) is converted and output as SD video
(4:3 aspect ratio), you can choose how it appears on the external monitor.

NOTES
• The [Resize SD Output] setting applies also to the reviewing of the last clip recorded (A 83).
• In mode, the [Squeeze] setting is applied and cannot be changed.
Operating modes:
[Letterbox]: The 16:9 aspect ratio is maintained but black letterbox bars are added to the top and bottom of the
image.
[Squeeze]: The image is squeezed from the left and right so that the entire image fits within the screen. The image
will appear normal if the external monitor also has a 16:9 aspect ratio.
[Side Crop]: The left and right sides of the image are cropped so that the central part of the image fits within the
screen.
