• 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
