About the HDMI terminal
The HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) connection –connection type – is a
convenient all-digital connection using a single cable for both video and audio. When
you connect the camcorder to an HDTV equipped with an HDMI terminal, you can
enjoy video and audio playback at the highest quality.
- The HDMI OUT mini terminal on the camcorder is for output only. Do not connect it to
an HDMI output terminal on an external device, as this may damage the camcorder.
- The HDMI connection will recognize automatically the highest resolution supported
by the connected HDTV, and output the optimal video signal to ensure the best
viewing experience. You can confirm the current specification of the video output by
checking the [HDMI STATUS] menu option ( 51).
- Correct operation cannot be guaranteed when connecting the camcorder to DVI
monitors.
- Some HDTVs have their HDCP digital content protection configured so as not to allow the
playback of personal content (video recorded for personal uses). If you cannot play back
the video recorded with this camcorder on your HDTV using the HDMI connection, try
connecting the camcorder using the component video connection –connection type –
instead.
- There will be no video output from the AV OUT/ terminal or the COMPONENT OUT
terminal while the camcorder is connected to an external device using the optional
HTC-100 HDMI Cable. In such case, only audio will be output from the AV OUT/
terminal.
