68 Connecting to a TV or VCR Playback on a TV Screen The quality of the playback picture will vary depending on the connected TV and the type of connection used. POINTS TO CHECK ( 8) Change the following settings as necessary before making the connections. Refer to the corresponding explanation of each setting in the PLAY/OUT SETUP menu option list ( 38). - [PLAYBACK STD] to select the output video standard. - [TV TYPE] to match the output video to the aspect ratio of the connected TV. - [COMP.OUT] to select the video specifications when using connection type 1 . - [DV OUTPUT] to select the standard of the output video when using connection type 2 . Connecting Connect the camcorder to the TV following one of the connection diagrams shown in the previous section Connection Diagrams ( 65). Playback 1 Turn on the camcorder and the connected TV or VCR. On the TV: Select as the video input the same terminal to which you connected the camcorder. On the VCR: Set the input selector to the external video input (usually labeled LINE IN). 2 Start the playback of the movies ( 27) or still images ( 31). NOTES Turn off all the devices before starting the connections. Sound from the built-in speaker will be muted while the STV-250N Stereo Video Cable is connected to the camcorder. We recommend powering the camcorder using the compact power adapter. If you connect to a TV using the HDMI connection -connection type 3 - or the video component connection -connection type 1 - you can enjoy the full resolution of high-definition TV. About the HDMI terminal The HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) connection -connection type 3 - 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 HDMI 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 mode ( 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 1 - instead. - There will be no video output from the AV/ 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/ terminal.
