Recording sound with more
presence (5.1ch surround
recording)
You can record Dolby Digital 5.1ch
surround sound with the built-in
microphone. Realistic sound can be enjoyed
when playing a movie on devices that
support 5.1ch surround sound.
Notes
If you play back 5.1ch sound on your
camcorder, 5.1ch sound is automatically
converted and output in 2ch.
To enjoy the 5.1ch surround sound of the
movies recorded with high definition image
quality (HD) in 5.1ch sound, you need a device
compatible with 5.1ch surround.
When you connect your camcorder with an
HDMI cable (sold separately), the sound of high
definition image quality (HD) movies recorded
in 5.1ch sound is automatically output in 5.1ch
sound. The sound of standard definition image
quality (STD) movies is converted to 2ch.

Surround] (
) or [2ch Stereo] ( )
([Audio Mode], p. 85).
You can create a disc, which contains the
movies recorded on your camcorder, on a
