Notes
If you play back 5.1ch sound on your camcorder, 5.1ch sound is automatically converted and output in 
2ch.
To enjoy the 5.1ch surround sound of the movies recorded with high definition image quality (HD) in 
5.1ch sound, you need an AVCHD format device compatible with 5.1ch surround.
When you connect your camcorder with an HDMI cable (sold separately), the sound of high definition 
image quality (HD) movies recorded in 5.1ch sound is automatically output in 5.1ch sound. The sound of 
standard definition image quality (SD) movies is converted to 2ch.
Tips
You can select the recording sound from [5.1ch SURROUND] (
) or [2ch STEREO] (
) 
([AUDIO MODE], p. 74).
You can create a disc, which contains the movies recorded on your camcorder, on a computer using the 
supplied software. If you play the disc on a 5.1ch surround system, you can enjoy realistic sound.
