The video signals output from the video signal output connectors on this camcorder (VIDEO/Y, PB, PR) are as described
below, depending on the settings for the OUTPUT TERMINAL item on the VIDEO FORMAT menu screen.
AUTO
: Automatically switches to a composite or
component signal, depending on which
cable is connected to the video signal
output terminal and outputs the signal.
COMPOSITE
: Outputs a composite signal regardless of
which cable is connected to the video signal output connector.
COMPONENT
: Outputs a component signal regardless
of which cable is connected to the video
signal output connector.

automatically detect the video format of the playback tape or
only play back a particular format when playing back a tape.

CAUTION
„ Displaying Alarms
• CHANGE 1394 SWITCH
Displayed when the setting for the input/output video format
from the IEEE1394 connector and the setting for the
IEEE1394 switch are different.
Set the IEEE1394 switch so it matches the video format.

• Be careful not to apply excess force to the video signal
output terminal when connecting or disconnecting the
cable. This will cause poor contact or failure.
• To use the automatic signal-switching function while the
RCA-BNC conversion connector is in use, unplug the
entire connector from the video output terminal.
