Solution

Playing back video on a Television screen ZR60, ZR65mc, and ZR70mc

You can play back video on TVs with audio / video terminals.

 
  • For high picture quality, we recommend using a TV with an S (S1) terminal.
  • TVs with S1-terminal or Video ID-1 system: Recordings made in the 16:9 mode will be automatically played back in wide screen mode.
  • The AV terminal also serves as headphones terminal. When "" is displayed on the screen, change the setting following the procedure below:
    • Open the menu and select [VCR SETUP]. Select [AV/PHONES ], set it to [AV] and close the menu.

  • When you use the TV as a monitor during recording, keep the TV volume turned down as long as the camcorder's audio terminals are connected. An unpleasant high-pitched squeal, called feedback, may be produced if sound from the TV speakers is picked up by the microphone.
