• To enjoy the 5.1ch surround sound recorded
with HD (high definition) image quality, you
need an AVCHD format device compatible with
5.1ch surround sound (p. 126).
• When connected to another device compatible
with 5.1ch surround sound using the HDMI
cable (optional), the movie recorded with HD
(high definition) image quality and the 5.1ch
sound is automatically output in the 5.1ch
sound. The movie recorded with SD (standard
definition) image quality is automatically
converted to the 2ch sound and output.

• When recording sound, you can select the
desired sound from either [5.1ch SURROUND]
or [2ch STEREO] ([AUDIO MODE], p. 84).
