selected using OUT FORMAT [60]/[50] in the
VIDEO Menu screen.
If this occurs, set MONITOR SELECT to
HDMI[A].
z If the monitor has a DVI-D terminal that sup-
ports HDCP, you can watch digital video by
connecting an HDMIlDVI-D cable.
z When the video format of the IEEE1394 input
signal differs from the IEEE1394 switch, or
INPUT SELECT switch is set to HDV/DV and a
signal is not input into the IEEE1394 terminal,
no signal is output from the HDMI OUT termi-
nal. ("no 1394" is displayed on the counter dis-
play.) Similarly, no signal is output from the
