camcorder to the TV.
• Set [TV TYPE] depending on your TV (p. 78)
The image appears distorted on the 4:3 TV.
• This happens when viewing an image recorded in the 16:9 (wide) mode on a 4:3 TV. Set [TV 
TYPE] correctly (p. 78) and play back the image. If you view the image on a 4:3 TV, black 
bands may appear at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction.
Menu items are grayed out.
