Connecting to an External Monitor

Using the HDMI OUT Terminal

The HDMI

OUT terminal also offers a digital connection and outputs both a video and audio signal.

If you select [k Automatic], the output signal will automatically switch to HD or SD depending on the

capability of the external monitor. In mode, the audio output signal will be 2-channel linear PCM

audio (16-bit, 48 kHz sampling).

1 Open the [HDMI Output] screen.

[FUNC.] > [MENU] > q > [HDMI Output]

• Touching [FUNC.] is necessary only when performing the procedure in mode.

2 Touch the desired option and then touch [X].

NOTES

• In mode, you can use the [FUNC.] > [MENU] > q > [HDMI Time Code] setting to

include the time code in the signal output from the HDMI OUT terminal.

• The HDMI OUT 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.

• There will be no video output from the AV OUT terminal while an external monitor is connected to

the HDMI OUT terminal.

• Correct operation cannot be guaranteed when connecting the camcorder to DVI monitors.

• Video may not be output correctly depending on the monitor. In such case, use another terminal.

• If you selected an option other than [k Automatic] and the connected monitor is not compatible

with the signal output from the camcorder, then HDMI output will stop.

• You can use the [FUNC.] > [MENU] > q > [Output Onscreen Displays] setting to select

whether onscreen displays are embedded in the output video signal.

Using the AV OUT Terminal

The AV OUT terminal outputs a down-converted analog video signal and audio signal for connection

to monitors with a composite audio/video input.
