other units.

the black bands at the top and bottom of the screen are cut and the screen ratio becomes 16:9. During

A discriminating signal is automatically recorded when you select either “SQUEEZE” or “CINEMA” for
recording. If your wide TV has the automatic discriminating function, connect an S-Video cable between S2
connector on the TV and the S-Video output connector on the camcorder. During playback, the image is
naturally expanded to fit the wide screen, with no proportional distortion.
If your wide screen TV has no S2 connector, automatic signal discrimination can not be performed, and it
should be done manually.

When playing back through a video cassette recorder, or to a wide-screen TV, that does not have the
automatic discriminating function, change the setting on the TV manually.
●
When playing back a tape recorded in Squeeze and Cinema, Squeeze cannot be distinguished from
Cinema during fast-forward or rewind.
