Selecting the Signal Standard and Aspect Ratio E You can select the signal standard of your recording (high definition or standard definition) and, for standard definition recordings, also the aspect ratio of the recording. Since the displays on the camcorder have an aspect ratio of 16:9, when you select [SD4:3] the picture will appear in the center of the screen with black sidebars. Open the menu and select [SIGNAL SETUP]. Select [SIGNAL STD], select a setting option and select [YES] to confirm the selection and close the menu. • [HD]: To record on the tape in HDV standard or to use the camcorder as a high-definition (HD) camera. • [SD16:9], [SD4:3]: To record on the tape in DV standard or to use the camcorder as a standard-definition (SD) camera. Select the aspect ratio as desired. To play back recordings made with a 16:9 aspect ratio change the settings of the TV as necessary (refer to the instruction manual of the connected TV). To play back widescreen recordings on a TV set with 4:3 aspect ratio, change the [LETTERBOX] setting accordingly ( 99). TV sets equipped with the ID-1 system will switch automatically to a widescreen (16:9) display. 31 Recording
