Connecting to a normal TV (16:9/4:3)
• The connection is used when downconverting recorded HD images to SD for playback.
• When playing back HD-quality (1280x720) movie images on a SDTV, the images are down-converted to 720x480.
• The multi-AV cable does not support HD-quality images so it down-converts them to SD-quality images.
• Before connecting your HD camcorder to a TV, set the same aspect ratio on your HD camcorder as on your TV.
