About
the
HDMITM
connection
The HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia
Interface) connection -connection type
11-
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 HOMI terminal, you can enjoy video and
audio playback at the highest quality.
- The HDMI 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
in
the [HDMI
OUT] information display at the bottom
of
the
~
PLAY/OUT SETUP2 menu screen in
l
,PtAJ~@§LI
mode
(111+
PLAY/OUT SETUP
menu
in
other modes).
- 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 video
component connection -connection type
D-
instead.
- There will be no video output from the
AV/O
terminal or the COMPONENT OUT terminal
while the camcorder is connected to
an
external
device using the HDMI cable.
In
such case, only
audio will be output from the
AV/O
terminal.
