When connecting to your TV via a VCR
Connect your camcorder to the LINE 
IN input on the VCR using the A/V 
connecting cable. Set the input selector on 
the VCR to LINE (VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, 
etc.).
When your TV is monaural (When your TV has 
only one audio input jack)
Connect the yellow plug of the A/V 
connecting cable to the video input jack 
and connect the white (left channel) or red 
(right channel) plug to the audio input jack 
of your TV or VCR.
If your TV/VCR has a 21-pin adaptor 
(EUROCONNECTOR)
You need the 21-pin adaptor (optional) 
to connect your camcorder to a TV for 
viewing recorded images (for models with 
the   mark printed on the bottom surface 
only). This adaptor is designed for output 
use only.
Notes
 When the A/V connecting cable is used to 
output images, images are output with SD 
(standard definition) image quality.
Tips
 If you connect your camcorder to the TV using 
more than one type of cable to output images, 
the order of priority of the TV input jacks is as 
follows: 
HDMI  component  S VIDEO  video.
 HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) 
is an interface to send both video/audio signals. 
The HDMI OUT jack outputs high quality 
images and digital audio.
On “Photo TV HD”
Your camcorder is compatible with “Photo 
TV HD.” “Photo TV HD” allows for 
highly-detailed, photo-like depiction of 
subtle textures and colors. By connecting 
Sony’s Photo TV HD-compatible devices 
using an HDMI cable* or a component A/
V cable**, a whole new world of photos can 
be enjoyed in breathtaking full HD quality.
*  The TV will automatically switch to the 
appropriate mode when displaying photos. 
** Setup of the TV will be necessary. Please refer 
to the instruction manual of your Photo TV 
HD-compatible TV for details.
