• To playback an image recorded in HDV format when 

you connect the monitor using an HDMI cable or a 
component video cable, set [HDMI/CMPNT] of 
[VIDEO OUT] in the [IN/OUT REC] menu according 
to the requirements of your monitor (page 71).

• When an image recorded in DVCAM/DV format is 

played back, only an image with a quality equivalent to 
that of the DVCAM/DV format of 480i (NTSC) or 
576i (PAL) is output via the COMPONENT OUT 
jacks, regardless of the [HDMI/CMPNT] setting. 

• For details on the output level from the HDMI OUT 

jack and the COMPONENT OUT jacks, see 
“Specifications” (page 100). 

• To change the output level from the COMPONENT 

OUT jacks, see [480i LEVEL] in the [IN/OUT REC] 
menu (page 74). 

• There are some restrictions on images output from the 

HDMI OUT jack and the COMPONENT OUT jacks 
of the unit. 

Refer to HDMI OUT jack 6 (page 17), COMPONENT 
OUT jacks 5 (page 17) of “Location and Function of 
Parts.”
For more information, see “Recording Format and Input/
Output Signals” on page 31.

• If you connect the input connectors of the unit to the 

output connectors of a monitor, a humming noise may 
be generated or the image may be distorted. If these 
phenomena occur, use the INPUT SELECT switch to 
select a signal that is not being input, or disconnect the 
cables.

• When you play back an HDV-formatted tape with 

copyright protected signals or input HDV signals with 
copyright protection to the   HDV/DV jack, pictures 
may be output in either 480i (NTSC) or 576i (PAL) 
format, regardless of the setting of [HDMI/CMPNT] 
of [VIDEO OUT] in the [IN/OUT REC] menu.

• The unit cannot up convert DVCAM/DV recordings to 

HDV at output.

• When [HDMI/CMPNT] of [VIDEO OUT] in the [IN/

OUT REC] menu is set to either [1080i/480i] or 
[1080i/576i], 1080/24p and 1080/30p video signals 
played back are converted to 1080/60i and 1080/25p 
video signals are to 1080/50i, and output from the 
COMPONENT OUT jacks and the HDMI OUT jack.

The video and audio signals are sent with hardly any 
degradation, enabling high-quality playback to a 
monitor with an i.LINK connector that supports HDV, 
DVCAM, and DV formats. 

For details on i.LINK output formats, see page 97.

• Be sure that you set [HDV/DV SEL] in the [IN/OUT 

REC] menu to [AUTO] (default setting) before 
connecting the monitor to the unit with the i.LINK 
cable. If you change the setting after connecting the 
i.LINK cable, the monitor may not recognize the video 
signals correctly (page 70). 

• To connect the unit to a monitor equipped with an 

i.LINK jack, you may need to set the monitor so that it 
recognizes the unit. 

• When an i.LINK connection is made, the unit cannot 

output video or audio only.
