Connecting the Video Signal Cables
Connecting the IEEE1394 Cable
To reduce the emission of unwanted radio waves, be sure to
attach the provided clamp filter as shown in the figure on the
left.
•Attach the clamp filter as close to the camcorder as possi-
ble, as shown in the figure.
•Set the IEEE1394 switch on the left panel of the cam-
corder.
CAUTION
Connect the cables and set the switches with the power on
the device OFF.
Composite and Component Connections
The video signals output from the video signal output connec-
tors on this camcorder (VIDEO/Y, P
B, PR) are as described
below, depending on the settings for the OUTPUT TERMI-
NAL item on the VIDEO FORMAT menu screen.
Output signal when AUTO is set
In addition, you can use the PB TAPE item to set whether to
automatically detect the video format of the playback tape or
only play back a particular format when playing back a tape.
X See page63.
CAUTION
Be careful not to apply excess force to the video signal out-
put terminal when connecting or disconnecting the cable.
This will cause poor contact or failure.
Displaying Alarms

USING EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
Dubbing with AV Devices
By connecting the video signal output terminal and the LINE
OUTPUT terminal on this camcorder to an AV device, analog
signal dubbing is possible.
1.Connect the cables.
Use the provided cable for the audio cable.
To reduce the emission of unwanted radio waves, be sure
to attach the provided clamp filter as shown in the figure
on the left.
•Attach the clamp filter as close to the camcorder as
possible, as shown in the figure.
2.Turn both devices on.
3.Set the camcorder to VTR mode.
Press the CAM/VTR button. The VTR indicator lights.
4.Set the video output.
Set the VIDEO FORMAT menu screen. X See page 62.
• HDV PB OUTPUT item:
Set the video format to be output from the video output
terminal during tape playback.
•PB TAPE item:
Select whether to automatically detect the playback tape
video format or play back only a particular format.
Normally, use the “AUTO” setting.
•OUTPUT TERMINAL item:
Set either component or composite output.
Normally, use the “AUTO” setting.
5.Set the audio output. X See page 53.
Set the AUDIO/MIC menu screen. X See page 70.
• AUDIO MONITOR item:
Set stereo audio or mixed audio.
•PB AUDIO CH [DV] item:
